Cisco Raises bar in Gigabit Ethernet Switching

On 24 June, 2003 Cisco Systems Malaysia Sdn Bhd launched its next-generation stackable switch platforms, the Cisco® Catalyst® 3750 Series with Cisco StackWise™ Technology and the Catalyst 6500 Series, raising the bar in desktop switching.

The Cisco Catalyst 3750 Series provides unprecedented stackable resiliency and ease of operation while the Catalyst 6500 Series provides the scalable intelligent multilayer switching performance while delivering Gigabit Ethernet performance.

Together, the switches allow for enterprise, service-provider networks and mid-sized organizations to significantly increase the operating efficiency of their local-area networks (LANs)/wide-area networks (WANs) while enabling them to adapt to changing business needs.

Both the Catalyst 3750 Series and Catalyst 6500 series leverage a forward-thinking architecture that supports an unparalleled range of data and voice services. At the heart of the Catalyst 3750 series is Cisco’s new StackWise technology, a revolutionary stacking architecture that provides a 32-Gbps stack interconnect.

This Cisco innovation brings customers additional benefits such as maximum network uptime, comprehensive network security, investment protection, a longer product lifecycle, and operational consistencies allowing customers to standardize on a single platform with unparalleled services integration.

With millions of new devices becoming IP aware, there is a need for networking products to support the IPv6 protocol. Customers can deploy the Catalyst 3750 platform knowing it is IPv6-capable in hardware and as a result can support this protocol with a future software upgrade.
