increase in theoretical throughput over 100-Mbps Fast Ethernet and a
hundredfold increase over 10-Mbps Ethernet. Since it is compatible
with all 10-Mbps and 100-Mbps Ethernet environments, Gigabit
Ethernet provides a straightforward upgrade without wasting a
company’s existing investment in hardware, software, and trained
personnel.
The increased speed and extra bandwidth offered by Gigabit Ethernet
are essential to coping with the network bottlenecks that frequently
develop as computers and their busses get faster and more users use
applications that generate more traffic. Upgrading key components,
such as your backbone and servers to Gigabit Ethernet can greatly
improve network response times as well as significantly speed up the
traffic between your subnets.
Gigabit Ethernet supports video conferencing, complex imaging, and
similar data-intensive applications. Likewise, since data transfers
occur 10 times faster than Fast Ethernet, servers outfitted with Gigabit
Ethernet NIC’s are able to perform 10 times the number of operations
in the same amount of time.
The phenomenal bandwidth delivered by Gigabit Ethernet was the
most cost-effective method to take advantage of today’s rapidly
improving switching and routing internetworking technologies. And
with expected advances in silicon technology and digital signal
processing that enabled Gigabit Ethernet to eventually operate over
unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cabling, outfitting your network with a
powerful 1000-Mbps-capable backbone/server connection creates a
flexible foundation for the next generation of network technology
products.
