Unfortunately this solution is short sighted, cumbersome, and expensive. More bandwidth at less cost is becoming a critical corporate issue, because eventually you will reach a physical limit to how much bandwidth can be deployed to any one location.

This is no miracle solution; it is bandwidth management front end hardware. Placed on the network before the router, it is an intelligent bandwidth manager that requires little servicing.
