If we go to BigCo.com and say "we'll wire your building and charge $x/customer" we need something that can go above and beyond what a PC can do... For example, if we wire a building with both ABC and NBC in the same building, I'm not sure how MIS would react to being on the same ethernet as a competitor. Cisco and Bay both are making rack systems that make the line between a switching hub and a router rather blurry... My concern is to be able to make sure seperate clients on the same building feed can't see each other at all... I just can't seem to find an economical way to do this...
