additional application requirements for Net Greeting. ATM's commitment to quality of service
and its support for high throughput make it an ideal choice to support Net Greeting. The ATM
workgroup solution provides an ATM workgroup switch that provides 25 Mbps ATM or 10
Mbps Ethernet switching connections to the Ethernet switches. The Ethernet switches can
provide desktop users with 10 Mbps switched Ethernet connections. If you create an ATM
workgroup, any bottleneck that previously existed will be removed from the network. ATM
switches can offer the greater bandwidth required by the videoconferencing applications. The
ATM workgroup will allow Fuster Bunn to protect its existing business investments and boost
network performance with dedicated bandwidth to the desktop for each user. This ATM
workgroup solution provides a state-of-the-art, robust, integrated solution that strikes an
effective balance between upgrade costs and that meets Fuster Bunn's bandwidth needs, while
providing the scalability to accommodate future growth. See Figure 4-11.
