Corporate Network Switch

Enterprise network switches are an essential component of modern IT infrastructures.

These manageable and non-manageable devices facilitate internal communication between various devices connected to the network, such as computers, servers and storage devices such as NAS (Network Attached Storage) and SAN (Storage Area Network).

PoE (Power over Ethernet) technology allows you to power devices directly via the network cable, eliminating the need for additional power supplies and reducing operating costs.

The ability to configure in detail switches through CLI (Command Line Interface) or GUI (Graphical User Interface) interfaces significantly improves network efficiency, allowing advanced traffic management and the implementation of security policies, such as VLAN (Virtual Local Area) isolation Network) to segment the network e improve safety and performance.

What distinguishes a managed switch from an unmanaged one?
A managed switch offers advanced network configuration and management features, such as VLAN, QoS (Quality of Service), and SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) to monitor traffic and manage network events in real time, while an unmanaged switch provides basic functionality without detailed configuration options.

What are the benefits of using PoE in enterprise switches?
Usage of PoE reduces cabling and installation costs allowing devices receive power and data transmission via a single Ethernet cable. It is ideal for installing devices in places where it would be difficult or expensive to get the power supply.

How can a company improve the security of its network with network switches?
Advanced switches allow the implementation of numerous security measures, such as the configuration of firewalls and VLANs to isolate sensitive parts of the network, thus preventing unauthorized access and limiting potential damage in the event of intrusions.
