Wired networks offer quick communication channels between users, computers and network devices through switch connection withinlocal area network. Products under this category include chassis,core, edge, secure switches, managed, Web Smart and unmanaged switches, transceivers, converters and adapters.
Unmanaged
-Simplest way to build a network and let it run itself
-
-Ideal for small networks that are sharing resources
-Green Ethernet
Smart
-Many of the benefits of managed, as outlined below, but without the complexity or cost
-Ease of configuration through
-Ideal for users wishing to build small to medium size networks but who don’t need the advanced features necessary for corporate deployments
Managed
-Allows administrators to monitor traffic across the network, introduce redundancy and control access
-Found in networks with numerous users and applications, where performance and reliability must be maximized and security enforced
-Ideal for large sites where server farms are deployed, with hundreds of users sharing multiple printers and applications and routinely using wireless access and
-Includes
Unified Wireless
