The only certainty in networks today 
is that bandwidth demands will 
continue to increase. As more com-
plex and time-sensitive applications
such as voice and video are created
for the desktop, a higher volume of
traffic is generated throughout the
network. This results in network bot-
tlenecks that can cause performance
problems within workgroups, to and
from servers, and across the back-
bone. Switching technology has
proven to be the most cost-effective,
flexible, and least disruptive way to
add and manage bandwidth at every
level of your network. 
3Com has the broadest array of
switching solutions to match your
particular requirements. To safeguard
your investment, we offer a family 
of stackable switches that delivers
Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit
Ethernet, ATM technologies, and
Layer 3 switching to solve any
performance problem. No matter
which product you start with today
in one area of your network, you can
be assured of a complete migration
path and compatible solutions to
take you to the next step tomorrow.
And that covers everything from the
desktop to the backbone.
