In addition to working as individual stand-alone switches, OmniSwitch 6600 Family switches can also be 
linked together to work as a single virtual switch known as a stack. With stacks you can easily expand 
your switching capacity simply by adding additional switches. In addition, stacks provide enhanced resil-
iency and redundancy features.
