Regional
Offices
Distribution business functions securely
and reliably
3ComŽ solutions for regional offices
offer the same rich level of functionality as those we provide
for headquarters. They deliver a high-availability, high-performance
network that is easy to implement and manage.
As the number of users increases, 3Com makes it easy to scale
the amount of bandwidth to the core of the network. So users get
the response times they demand for such applications as customer
relationship management, distance learning, or call centers.
With the increased focus on security, 3Com offers full support
for Network Login (802.1x) on both wired and wireless interfaces,
ensuring a common username/password regardless of where users
access the network.
Most of the elements of the 3Com solution are software upgradeable.
This means businesses can buy today the appropriate level of functionality,
safe in the knowledge that they can easily expand capabilities
as their needs evolve.
One of the issues normally encountered in regional offices is
slow response time for web-based applications. This is typically
caused by the limited wide area bandwidth between the regional
office and the headquarters site. To minimize this problem, a
3Com SuperStack 3 Webcache can be used to store frequently used
data on the local area network. Since cached content loads faster,
this solution has the dual benefit of reducing WAN bandwidth and
increasing employee productivity by speeding response times.
