As companies upgrade to powerful desktop systems that can simultaneously move large files and handle multiple sophisticated applications, existing network server connections might not be able to meet the increased demand for bandwidth. This paper offers four methods available to network architects and IT administrators that can increase server bandwidth for greater performance. These methods use a combination of LAN-on- motherboard connections based on the Intel 82546EB Dual Port Gigabit Ethernet Controller and the Intel PRO/1000 MT Quad Port Server Adapter.
