  299. <p>Farallon's 10/100 Starlet Switches<br />
  300. ----------------------------------------<br />
  301. Designed to seamlessly integrate into existing networks, Farallon's line of<br />
  302. Starlet Switches are plug-and-play solutions for optimizing Ethernet and<br />
  303. Fast Ethernet networks. These cost-effective, high-performance switches can<br />
  304. reliably handle frequent transmissions of extremely large data files over<br />
  305. the network. In addition, customers with large networks benefit from the<br />
  306. Starlet Switches' ability to segment networks into smaller more efficient<br />
  307. workgroups. Farallon's Starlet Switches do not require any major wiring<br />
  308. changes or additional costs at the desktop computers to implement. They are<br />
  309. 19" rack mountable, offer full duplex support, feature front panel LEDs for<br />
  310. at-a-glance monitoring and simply work with the network hubs and cards that<br />
  311. already in place.</p>
  312. <p>Farallon's Low-Cost Fast Starlet Hubs<br />
  313. ---------------------------------------------<br />
  314. Farallon Fast Starlet Hubs, available in 5-, 8- and 16-port configurations,<br />

  317. acceleration software optimized for transferring large multimedia and<br />
  318. publishing files over Fast Ethernet. The workgroup hubs are ideal for small<br />
  319. to medium size networks that need the high-performance of Fast Ethernet but<br />
  320. do not have the budget, or the need, for elaborate large-scale networking<br />
  321. solutions.</p>
