Fibre can handle a lot more virtual data than copper twisted-pair, so we got a lot more data and a lot more traffic signals back through the fibre ports, faster, than with copper.""Enables direct access to clusters.""The new web graphical interface is much better than before. We now have easy access to the command lines. They're all functional.""The solution has a very good web interface. It makes it easy to manage everything.""It's easy to extend the stack, We don't use the smaller switches, but it's going well for the rest."
