Departmental Bridge

For enterprise networks where large data broadcasts are constantly processed,

this switch is an ideal solution for department users to connect to the corporate

backbone. The MIL-S3580 used as a segment switch can alleviate user contention

for bandwidth and eliminate server and network bottlenecks. All ports can connect

to high-speed department servers that need high bandwidth. This switch provides

parallel communications within its Gigabit port, which can run up to 2000Mbps at

Full-duplex.

The switch makes key servers available to more users by allowing multiple

conversations to occur concurrently, thereby significantly expanding overall

network throughput. Moreover, this switch eases supervision and maintenance by

allowing network manager to centralize multiple servers in a single location.
