whitepaper Tornillo Independent School District Solves Reliability Issues, and Makes Way for VoIP and Web Surveillance With D-Link 10GB Switches and Fiber Uplinks2007-11-30 D-Link
  When Armando Gonzales interviewed for Tornillo Independent School District's Network Administrator position, the district's network went down while he was in their office. The outdated switching equipment frequently crashed for unknown reasons. With 10GB connectivity coming out, the district decided that it was the right time to upgrade their switching infrastructure. The extra capacity would allow them to support continued workstation additions and ongoing network expansion initiatives for supporting high-bandwidth applications like VoIP and an IP security surveillance system. The district bought 30 xStack DXS-3350SR switches and 9 DEM-420X XFP 10Gigabit uplink modules to connect the switches via fiber between their campuses and administrative buildings.
