Experience Platform- and Vendor-Neutral Learning While networking products are generally built on the same technology, manufacturers often add unique and valuable proprietary features. These can create interoperability challenges that impact network choices and implementations.
Not all vendors share 3Com’s commitment to feature-rich, standards-based products. With more than a dozen manufacturers in any given segment of the networking market (hubs, switches, etc.), IT managers must have a broad knowledge of available networking technologies. They are the ones their employers will look to for well-informed acquisition recommendations and successful implementations. As future IT managers, students must gain the knowledge needed for these business-critical decisions.
