Meeting the Need at the Edge of the Network
White Paper
October 2004
Abstract
This white paper provides an overview of how the xStack Switch Series by D-Link Systems, Inc.
implements state-of-the-art technology to address critical requirements at the edge of the
network. Requirements such as the need for more density to support more users, but with the
performance to ensure users get the bandwidth they require; the need to deploy services faster
while lowering the cost of delivering these services and the need to secure the network while
remaining open to new opportunities; and the need for 10-Gigabit switching capacity. The
xStack Series delivers the industry’s best investment protection by implementing advanced
hardware and software technology to meet and exceed these and other emerging edge switch
requirements.
