ATM adds value to enterprise networking

Enterprise networks that use asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) technology to support information systems derive benefits from ATM's multiplexing and intranet capabilities. Unused bandwidth is eliminated by multiplexing all types of data traffic into one network. Moreover, ATM provides accurate and stable performance for corporate applications using the Internet. It gives network architectures the ability to adapt to future changes.
During the 1980s, data networks typically supported a single information source--a mainframe. Today, that's changing as many enterprise networks support client systems (personal computers) that have a wide variety of [...]
