Sample Applications
The TigerSwtich 1000 is designed to consolidate your network
core providing high-bandwidth connections between workgroup
switches and server farms. Some typical applications are described
in this section.
Backbone Consolidation
The TigerSwtich 1000 can consolidate a switched network
backbone down into a single efficient bridged node, increasing
overall bandwidth and throughput.
In the figure below, the 1000BASE-SX ports on the TigerSwtich
1000 are providing 2 Gbps full-duplex connectivity to TigerSwitch
10/100 stacks and high-volume servers.
