Build your network infrastructure using HP networking switches

 

The network today is very important for supporting businesses and providing information. The primary element of networks have in common is the network switches which helps to connect for sharing resources.  It connects people, supports applications and services to provide access to a resource that keeps the business running.  A good and efficient design is required for the success of any business whether it is a small or big enterprise. The components of network design are scalability, security, high availability, and manageability. It means that network devices must be smart enough to deal without unexpected security incidents and must be able to adjust to changing traffic.

Organizations are moving faster with technological advancements so it's time for infrastructure to be cloud-ready, simple to manage, and quickly resolve network issues before they impact business. You can build a strong infrastructure by using HP product as it provides an uninterrupted communication path between many services, applications, processes, users, and external networks. Switches are the key blocks in building any network as they connect multiple devices like computers, wireless access points, and servers on the same network within the building. The network switch connects devices within a local area network and forwards the data packets to send from those devices. Also, enabling connected devices to share information and talk to each other.

Network switches are attached directly to a router or server and the key feature is that they can provide a greater number of ports for plugging in additional Ethernet cables. Different models of network switch support various numbers of connected devices. A corporate network switch supports between 32 to 128 connections while the consumer network switch supports 4 to 8 connections. So it helps the users who are connected to the same network via a switch to grant access to share resources on that network. Some HP switches can also process data at the network layer by additionally incorporating routing functionality that most commonly uses IP addresses to perform packet forwarding; such switches are commonly known as multilayer switches. Here are some benefits of using HP networking switches for building  your network infrastructure

• Users can get help with field troubleshooting in applications, verifies first line connections in the same network
• Users can examine how much data and also the types are being received and sent from each port.
• The switch can limit network access to only trusted devices and prevents users from setting up an unauthorized sub-network.
• HP networking switches can also help in minimizing network downtime.
• It helps in cutting operational expenses and increases network security.

How application delivery controllers work?

The developers who are building business applications need an IT environment that allows them to work quickly and with full security. So need to have web servers that are always available and protected. In today’s agile world, organizations are facing challenges in delivering critical applications to the users. Companies are adopting appropriate networking technologies to gain efficiency. The evolution of modern applications is due to higher dependency on cloud and mobile technologies. When they have to deliver a variety of functions across networks. They also need applications that are high in performance to deliver solutions. Always IT team can't wait to set up and configure load balancers and Application Delivery Controllers ( ADCs) for them. They need to have solutions for their needs.

Application Delivery Controllers ( ADCs) provides security and access to applications at peak times. It provides load balancing, application acceleration, and SSL termination along with seamless access to applications. It is also known as app delivery controllers and makes online applications such as websites, e-commerce sites, etc. It uses various techniques to improve the performance of web applications.  Being a network appliance, this also optimizes and manages how the enterprise and web servers are connected with the client machines.

Companies are trying hard towards creating user-friendly business applications. They are ensuring that employees can access information whenever and wherever they need it. Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs) heavily rely on business environments. They adapt applications to current protocols and networks ensuring the application's security, performance, and availability. Earlier they had limited functionality but now the core functionality is provided by load balancers.

Application delivery primarily functions as a load balancer that manages traffic to servers, optimizes the end-user performance, application deployment, reliability, and security of enterprise applications.  It also performs other functions like caching, compression, traffic shaping, multiplexing, etc. It is placed behind the firewall and in front of one or more application servers to act as a single point of control that can deliver the security needs of the application. The following techniques are mostly used by Application delivery controllers (ADCs) to enhance application performance:

• Load balancing:  It refers to distributing incoming requests across a group of servers. The algorithms consider factors such as server capacity, type of content requested, fields in the HTTP header, the client location, etc. to improve performance.
• Caching: It stores the content locally on ADC instead of fetching it from the backend servers every time a client request it. It increases the speed of delivery and reduces server loads.
• Compression:  Static assets like images, music, videos, JavaScript code are compressed to speed delivery and increase network capacity.
• Offloading SSL processing: It replaces the backend servers at the SSL endpoint for connections with the client. It performs the decryption of requests and encryption to work for servers to deliver content by freeing up servers for other tasks.
