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.

Managed and Unmanaged Network Switches

Network switches are like the brain of an enterprise network. It is a hardware device that connects multiple devices over a Local Area Network (LAN). It is a core component for the transmission of data between connected devices. It sends data only to the device it is intended for.

When running a business, it’s important to ensure that you have a network switch that helps you effectively cover the needs of your business. In-office, the devices are connected via Ethernet cables. The switch then acts as a control center for the network. Switches are of various sizes and it allows them to have several ports up to 48. Also, one port will be used to connect it to the rest of the network

Whether you must choose a managed or unmanaged network switch for your network is only possible by understanding the different benefits of both.

Managed Switch: It allows network administrators to connect on the same physical network without installing different sets of cables and network equipment. It has a diverse and rich features command-line interface (CLI), Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), using a web interface through a web browser, and several others. To meet the high network demands, there are smart switches too in the market. This has some features of a managed switch. Companies use this when they do not need all the features of a managed switch. It is low in cost and acts as an alternative. Benefits are as follows:

• Reliable, secure, and easier to manage the entire network
• Improves the security for all the networks and easily troubleshoot problems
• Reduces downtime and integrates data, video, a voice in one network

Unmanaged Switch: It is referred to as a plug-and-play type network solution. Often used when you want to extend the existing network with additional ports. They are used by small industries where you do not need a high degree of control, unlike managed switch. This is lower in cost and performs consistently without needing much technical support. Benefits are as follows:

• Plug-and-play setup with no configuration and can operate in harsh environments
• Monitor and control 24/7 remotely
• Easy installation and low cost
