BENEFITS FROM USING CAMPUS SWITCHES

There are definitely valuable benefits provided by the Huawei Enterprise campus switches to their users. Among them, we can emphasize:

• the management is extremely user-friendly - up to 10,240 APs can be managed via just one switch, the convergence from access to core can be achieved both via wire and wirelessly, O&M is simplified due to the unified user authentication methods;

• much more reliable - 0-packet loss, as well as non-blocking switching can be more easily achieved, especially in heavy-load, high-concurrency environments;

• enhanced agility - real-time response to service changes, network deployment/adjustment in just minutes, as well as plug-and-play available across the network.
  

THE BOTTOM LINE

Indeed, the bottom line is that the Huawei Enterprise campus switches are truly technological marvels. Who wouldn't want the velocity and reliability they offer to be part of their digital campus network?
