Farms Server farms refer to the placement of departmental servers in a data center where they can be provided with consolidated backup uninterrupted power supply and a proper operating environment The trend toward server farm architecture has accelerated recently and 1s expected to continue in order to ease administrative costs Overlapping VLANs enable traffic between a centralized server and clients not belonging to that server s VLAN thus offering a switching efficiency that is better than the original routing solution Higher Performance and Reduced Latency As the network expands more and more routers are required to divide the network into broadcast domains As the number of routers increase latency begins to degrade network performance It is particularly troublesome for newer applications that feature delay sensitive multimedia and interactivity Switches that employ VLANs can accomplish the same division of the network into broadcast domains but can do so at latencies much lower than those of routers In addition performance measured in packets per second is usually much higher for switches than for traditional routers Ease of Administration Routers require much more complex configuration than switches Reducing the number of routers in the network saves time spent on network management Saving Costs Router ports are more expensive than switch ports Also by utilizing cheaper switch ports switching and VLANs allow n
