Because BS-MP20 is built upon the 802.3bz standard, small businesses are positioned to maximize current network infrastructure while preparing them for later transition to 10GbE. The primary advantage of the 802.3bz standard is the flexibility to support 2.5, 5 and 10GBASE-T networks through the same switch. To transition to 10GbE networking in a cost effective manner, this switch is a perfect complement to the TeraStation 5010 line of NAS devices which features up to 2 native 10GbE ports.
