Refreshing Your Switches?
If you’re like a lot of people, the time has come to upgrade the switches in your wiring closet. But unlike the last several upgrade cycles, the driver this time isn’t to increase LAN performance – it’s to deploy new services.
Mobility and convergence have been major reasons to update wiring closet switches. The need to support wireless LANs and voice over IP has driven a lot of the equipment changes in the last several years.
Fortunately, the technology to enable these services is well understood, and switches have been providing the needed features, such as Power over Ethernet, for many years.
Full user and application control to protect business assets is the next frontier in wiring closet switches. You'll need a new architecture to support this level of intelligence, so for your next upgrade, step up to Intelligent Switching.
