3Com has completed the rollout of 1,300 3Com enterprise switches to the main and branch offices of Korean Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance.
According to 3Com, the deployment will enable Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance’s (SFMI) employees across the country to benefit from real-time voice traffic and data transmission for their PCs and IP phones.
Developed at 3Com’s advanced R&D facility in China, the Switch 5500-EI leverages 3Com’s eXpandable Resilient Network (XRN) technology that virtually combines multiple switches into a single logical switch, according to the company.
SFMI is also using the 5500-EI’s power-over-ethernet capability for distribution of power to other devices over the same cabling used for data transmission. In addition, the 5500-EI can also recognize IP phones and automatically place them in a dedicated virtual LAN to ensure security and service quality for VoIP traffic, said 3Com.
Jae Oh, country manager for Korea at 3Com, said: SFMI’s successful deployment lays another milestone on our long track record of serving the financial services industry with our well-established resilient switching technologies. 3Com will continue to leverage our culture of technological innovation along with our fresh, new enterprise product portfolio to bring enterprise customers around the world high-value, high-performance solutions that truly address their business needs.
