Switches or Hubs?

by tomsal . Updated 25 years, 5 months ago

I’ll keep this as short and to the point as I can….we are a rapidly growing company (70+ employees, $15 million a year, growing about 25% a year) we are securing a new location this summer…we have a new budget…do I get hubs or switches for my new networking design for a 100mb Fast Ethernet NT network, we will have 5 departmentalized servers, a web server (all users need internet access)…we plan on being at roughly 150 employees in 2-3 years time. Also, what exactly is the best advantageof Switches over Hubs? Besides the dedicated bandwidth issues.

Just looking for input and information from pros with experience instead of opinions and comments from someone who just reads magazines or books.

Thanks.

-Tom
