- In April 2003, Cisco Systems introduced a new stackable switch platform featuring greater resiliency and Gigabit Ethernet performance. The Cisco Catalyst 3750 Series uses a new “Cisco StackWise�? architecture that provides a 32 Gbps stack interconnect for unifying up to nine individual switches. The interconnected switches behave as a single, logical, convergence-optimized unit. The Catalyst 3750 provides stackable resiliency through advanced failover in hardware and software; unified services with distributed forwarding and QoS; automated configuration; performance to handle Gigabit Ethernet connectivity; and IPv6 readiness in hardware.
