1.3 Applications

This section shows a few examples of using the NSW in various network environments.

1.3.1 Backbone Application

The NSW is an ideal solution for small networks where rapid growth can be expected in the near future.
The NSW can be used standalone for a group of heavy traffic users. You can connect computers and
servers directly to the NSW's port or connect other switches to the NSW.
In this example, all computers can share high-speed applications on the server. To expand the network,
simply add more networking devices such as switches, routers, computers, print servers etc.
