Hawking Technology 10 - Manual (Page 6)

With increased speed and more bandwidth, Gigabit Ethernet
is a great solution for reducing network bottlenecks that
frequently develop as computers and their buses get faster,
and more users generate ever-greater traffic through the use
of increasingly advanced applications. Upgrading key
components, such as backbones and servers, to Gigabit
Ethernet can greatly improve network response times and
significantly increase the speed of traffic between your
subnets.
Gigabit Ethernet supports video conferencing, complex
imaging, and similar data-intensive applications. Likewise,
since data transfers occur at speeds up to 10 times greater
than Fast Ethernet, servers outfitted with Gigabit Ethernet
NIC’s (Network Interface Cards) are able to perform 10
times the number of operations in the same amount of time.
