Buy the Best Network Switches for Your Business with This Checklist!
When buying network switches for your enterprise LAN, you need to factor in several things.
Of course, your business needs and budget will guide your network configuration and switches selection; Some criteria remain the same whether you are upgrading/scaling an existing network or building a new one.
These include the size of your enterprise, the number of devices to be linked, the network traffic load, and the need for network switch customization or agility for particular programs.
HPE network switches are designed with varied features/specifications to fit the differing needs of enterprises and provide reliable, enhanced performance.
Types of network switches
Network switches can be desktop, wall, or rack-mounted design with managed or unmanaged operation. You can find all types of enterprise network switches at HPE.
If you are a small or medium-sized business (SMB), you might like our range of affordable network switches designed specifically for you. Easy to install and manage, our SMB router solutions also include scalable models that can effectively support evolving networking needs as your business grows.
Network switch costs are also a key consideration for SMBs opting for a cloud network. You do not need to compromise with our director-class SAN smart switches. Built with a high-performance, protocol-independent switch fabric, these switches can deliver enterprise cloud with lower OPEX.
You can also explore our high-performance Ethernet cabling solutions: direct-attach copper cables (DOC) and active optical cables (AOC).
Make your enterprise network switch investment worthwhile
It’s prudent to estimate your present and future business network needs to arrive at an optimal decision.So, we leave you with a quick checklist of things to keep in mind:
The number of network switches and their ports may depend on the number of devices.
Speed matters. Get the best possible configuration you can afford to tackle heavy workloads.
Choose high-performance switches for optimal network bandwidth.
Unmanaged switches are cheaper than managed ones.
Smart switches are more advanced than unmanaged switches but less than managed ones. Likewise, their price also falls somewhere in between.
PoE switches can be used to power your devices using an Ethernet cable.
