In this example, the MES-2110 connects different company departments (RD and
Sales) to the corporate backbone. It can alleviate bandwidth contention and
eliminate server and network bottlenecks. All users that need high bandwidth can
connect to high-speed department servers via the MES-2110. You can provide a
super-fast uplink connection by using a Gigabit Ethernet/mini-GBIC port on the
MES-2110.
Moreover, the MES-2110 eases supervision and maintenance by allowing network
managers to centralize multiple servers at a single location.
