Global Media Manufacturer Future-Proofs Production Plant Using Secure, Gigabit Network Powered by the 3Com Switch 8810 2006-10-11 01:00:17 3Com

A division of Bertelsmann Arvato Corporation, Sonopress Gutersloh is the world's second largest replicator of CDs and fourth largest reproducer of DVDs. While the legacy LAN served Sonopress well for several years, it was not built to support Gutersloh's growing replication rate, which reached 800,000 DVDs per day in 2004. Sonopress Gutersloh sought a secure, easily managed, high density, 10-Gigabit ready core switching solution. Although satisfied with its initial 3Com solution and the service of 3Com sales and customer care professionals, Sonopress Gutersloh and its VAR Optimierung-Systeme Mayer, carefully assessed other Gigabit backbone switches.
