We intend to migrate our 25 servers that are currently on an isolated connection to our principal network that has a gigabit switch. At present, these servers run on a 10/100 Ethernet connection that has 500 users. Can you please suggest some useful guides that I may use to implement this process?
Since you are migrating to a gigabit switch, then it will be important that you consider upgrading the speeds at which the server operates on the Ethernet connection from the current 100 to gigabit speed. That will mean that you do some upgrading when it comes to the network cables you are using, the RAM capacity of the servers and the storage space on the servers. Using the speed of 10/100 on the gigabit switch may tremendously slow down the operation of the switch, and I guess the reason as to why you are migrating to a gigabit switch is mainly to increase the speeds.
