Collapsed Backbone and Switching

The increasing demand by users for faster, more reliable communications strains current technology. And users similarly demand transparent connectivity. They generally don't care how the information gets to them... they just want it when they want it. That demand brings with it a renewed obligation on the part of system designers to investigate alternative ways to deliver signal to users. Current systems, like LANs connected to backbone networks, may no longer be the best choice.
