It can be hard to imagine the perfect network, that ticks over like clockwork with minimal input. A network can quickly be taken for granted, that our reliance to direct traffic to communicate internally and externally won’t naturally increase. Several factors can cause an increase:
- Sharing larger files
- More connected devices
- Employment
- Security and Monitoring
- Customer engagement (inc. website traffic)
No matter how big or small a company is, its network is vital. Switches are what help create that network; it is a building block that allows for wireless access, data, voice and video transmissions to occur as required.
The switch connects computers, printers, phones, cameras, lights, and servers in a building or campus. Switches allow for the sharing of information and resources, saving businesses money and increase employee productivity. But the business will only save money if running effectively – the money could be poured more into maintenance or worst case scenario, recovering from a loss of trade!
Having the infrastructure to cope with business demand should be a priority to plan for. Even if it is not actioned, your company at least knows what needs to be done to upscale.
