Offering robust advanced feature sets, SMC's line of 10/100/1000 switches and network interface cards (NICs) enable organizations to migrate existing 10/100 networks to the speed and performance of Gigabit networking at their own pace and at prices that rival those of today's 10/100 network hardware. "SMC SMC Saint Mary's College SMC Santa Monica College SMC Solaris Management Console SMC Smooth Muscle Cell SMC Small Magellanic Cloud (also see LMC) SMC Safety Management Certificate (maritime shipping) is leading the way for customers wanting to cost-effectively begin the transition to Gigabit Ethernet An Ethernet standard that transmits at 1 Gbps. Used mostly to connect high-end workstations and servers as well as for network backbones, Gigabit Ethernet transmits full duplex from point to point using switches and half duplex in a shared environment (CSMA/CD) using a hub. by offering products capable of working in existing 10/100 environments," explained Sean Keohane, president of SMC Networks. "Our new line of 10/100/1000 Copper solutions allows IT managers to future-proof their existing networks or immediately upgrade to Gigabit speeds at costs comparable to current 10/100 equipment."
