the procurve 8100fl switch series can be integrated into an existing traditional network to supplement existing bandwidth, while providing a clear migration path to an optimized procurve adaptive edge architecture. the illustration below shows a procurve 8100fl switch connected to a traditional core network using a 10 gbe link for maximum throughput.

   

    procurve 8100fl switches can extend the traditional core network by providing additional bandwidth and decision-making capabilities at the edge of the network. pcs, printers and other peripherals, and servers can be interconnected via intelligent edge switches.
