As competition grows for customers in the marketplace, enterprises are relying on technology to help them differentiate their business. Many of the applications used to provide services and increase productivity require reliable, secure communications. Network resiliency, security of data, and application-driven performance are the mainstays of a network built to provide services.

Aggregating network traffic from wiring closets and servers provides increased network performance and aids in troubleshooting. By aggregating wiring closet traffic into a hardware-based routing switch, inter-network traffic can be routed at wire-speed, ensuring application response times, required by bandwidth-sensitive applications, are met. Additionally, fewer high-speed router ports are required since high-speed wiring closet links are consolidated before connecting to the WAN router. Troubleshooting is made easier by providing clear distinctions for traffic segmentation.

The Passport 1600 series is a high-performance fixed port Layer 3 solution that provides the resilience, performance, and security required by today's application and competition-driven enterprise networks. Delivering application performance with proven reliability allows businesses to differentiate themselves with tools for everything from customer service to productivity or collaboration. Resiliency delivers maximum availability critical for bandwidth-sensitive and revenue-generating applications. Application performance decreases the chance that data will be dropped when traffic load increases on the switch. Security features provide added protection for switch configuration data, while packet filtering helps secure and segment sensitive traffic or network access.

Cisco Catalyst 2960 Series Intelligent Ethernet Switches are a new family of fixed-configuration standalone devices that provide desktop Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, enabling enhanced LAN services for entry-level enterprise, mid-market, and branch office networks. The Catalyst 2960 Series offers integrated security, including network admission control (NAC), advanced quality of service (QoS), and resiliency to deliver intelligent services for the network edge.

Hitachi Digital CP-X608 LCD projector is designed for installation in medium and large presentation facilities at corporate venues and educational institutions. As demanded by such professional environments the new projector offers the high performance and key features users have come to expect from Hitachi. Common sense design improvements have resulted in even better user functionality, ease of operation and maintenance.

A design goal of the CP-X6xx series was to improve projector maintenance with easier to use features such as the accessible lamp door on the top of the machine and the air filter on the side where it doesn't trap dust regardless of how the unit is mounted. Maintenance is further eased with the inclusion of Hitachi's network management software which allows users to control, diagnose, monitor and manage projectors through a simple browser interface from anywhere on the network or via email alerts. The CP-X608 has the added benefit of a wireless network interface to provide even more convenient access.

Reliability of the new projector has been improved not only by less complexity but specifically with the introduction of a high performance air filter. The new electro-statically charged filter is far more effective than conventional urethane filters in ensuring that dust particles do not accumulate on critical areas of the projector including the lens mechanism, even when operating in dusty or polluted environments.

Flexible installation into venues including meeting rooms and conference rooms is aided by the vertical and horizontal manual lens shift and a range of four optional lenses with bayonet style fittings that facilitate a range of throw distances from 1.8m to 14.8m when projecting a 100" screen surface.
