QoS, PoE
Full quality of service
Optimize your network bandwidth with QoS, PoE.
A communications network forms the backbone of any successful organization. These networks transport a multitude of applications and data, including high-quality video and delay-sensitive data such as real-time voice. The bandwidth-intensive applications stretch network capabilities and resources, but also complement, add value, and enhance every business process. Networks must provide secure, predictable, measurable, and sometimes guaranteed services. Quality of Service (QoS) features are used to prioritize the use of bandwidth in a switch. When QoS, PoE features are enabled, traffic is classified as it arrives at the switch, and processed through on the basis of configured priorities. Traffic can be dropped, prioritized for guaranteed delivery, or subject to the delivery options as configured by a number of different mechanisms.
The right QoS allows a network to provide better service to selected network traffic over various underlying technologies which allows applications to request and receive predictable service levels in terms of data throughput capacity (bandwidth), latency variations (jitter), and delay. In particular, QoS features provide better and more predictable network service by the following methods:
- Supporting dedicated bandwidth.
- Improving loss characteristics.
- Avoiding and managing network congestion.
- Shaping network traffic.
- Setting traffic priorities across the network.
Maximize system efficiency with PoE
Tech Check can create a fully integrated and digital workspace by utilizing Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities. This technology seamlessly integrates various devices into a network for complete control of technologies such as lighting, video surveillance, displays, switches, HVAC, and blinds all on one platform. Universal Power Over Ethernet (UPOE+ and UPOE) extends the IEEE Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) standard to double the power per port to 90 watts.
- Cut Costs – Lower expenses by eliminating wall circuits for endpoints and consolidating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems.
- Save Time – Shorten deployment time through the interoperability testing of devices.
- Conserve Energy – Reduce energy expenditures by using Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE).
- Improve performance – Extend intelligent load-shedding capabilities to switch-connected devices.
