Enterprise Services

Enterprise Services
Enterprise services
are defined as services that are provided to all users on the internetwork.
Layer 3 switches or routers are required in this scenario because an enterprise service must be
close to the core and would probably be based in its own subnet. Examples of these services
include Internet access, e-mail, and possibly videoconferencing. When servers that host enterprise
services are placed close to the backbone, all users would be the same distance from the
servers, but all user data would have to cross the backbone to get to the services.
