Utz required a network infrastructure that would allow it to flexibly add services when needed. The snack-food manufacturer, however, relied on legacy 3Com Gigabit networks at its headquarters and three other sites in Hanover. Although these networks effectively supported the firm's existing applications, Utz sought a new-generation network solution that would provide higher availability, more reliable performance, and the scalability to handle the company's future expansion. Although Utz is a longtime 3Com customer, it surveyed enterprise switching products from a variety of vendors, including Cisco. The firm found that 3Com systems most affordably offered the performance it demanded. 3Com also provides complete, enterprise-class communications solutions, such as VoIP, which Utz could utilize to further upgrade its information sharing.
