New D-Link Network Helps Stone Computers Meet Rising Customer Demand Whilst Delivering an Improved Level of Service

Stone, a D-Link reseller for a number of years, had previously used a D-Link 6000 chassis switch as part of its network backbone, together with a number of hubs and switches around its Stone HQ. To support the new system, it needed Layer 3 switching and VLAN capability so phone traffic could be prioritised and performance guaranteed. In addition, it was looking to increase the capacity on its other main network which supports its PCs in production. Stone deployed what are effectively two new networks. The main network uses the DGS-3324SRI, DXS-3326GSR and DGS-3324SR xStack Layer 3 Managed Switches for the central server stack with 10Gb between them.
