Gigabit Ethernet--The Core of the Network

"Heidelberg views gigabit ethernet as the great enabler of database technology," Kita explains. "Because of the extra stress client/server operations put on the network, we have typically tried to avoid their use in prepress; however, gigabit ethernet is arriving at just the right time to complement recent database technology developments. Therefore, we believe that it will be an accelerant to the mainstream use of database technologies."
