At the heart of every effective network lies powerful, reliable hardware. Network hardware forms the backbone that supports all data transmission and connectivity across an organisation. Proactive Data Systems offers high-performance network hardware solutions that are scalable and built to meet the rigorous demands of modern enterprises. 

 

Routers 

What are Routers?

Routers are vital devices that manage and direct data traffic between different networks. They ensure that data packets reach their destinations by choosing the best travel path. This process allows various devices, such as computers, smartphones, and tablets, to communicate with each other within a local network and access external resources like the Internet. Routers play a crucial role in maintaining the smooth operation of small and large enterprise networks by performing these functions. 

 

Key Functions of Routers: 

  • Traffic Management: They control the flow of data, preventing congestion and ensuring efficient use of network resources 
  • Network Security: Modern routers include firewalls and other security features to protect the network from unauthorised access and cyber threats 
  • IP Address Assignment: Routers assign IP addresses to devices within a network, enabling them to be uniquely identified and communicate effectively 
  • Connectivity: They connect different networks, such as an office network to the internet, facilitating seamless data exchange 

 

Why our routers stand out: 

  • High bandwidth support: Manage large volumes of traffic, ensuring that even during peak times, your network remains fast and responsive 
  • Advanced security features: Integrated firewalls and intrusion detection systems safeguard your network from external threats 
  • Multi-WAN support: Balance traffic across multiple internet connections for redundancy and improved uptime 
  • Flexible configurations: Support for both small branch offices and large corporate campuses, with routers tailored to specific needs 

 

Switches 

What are Switches: Switches are essential devices in a local network that connect multiple devices and ensure data reaches its intended destination. By connecting computers, printers, servers, and other networked devices, switches maintain the integrity and efficiency of data flow, preventing bottlenecks and optimising performance. These sophisticated devices act as traffic managers, directing data packets with precision to ensure they reach their intended destinations.  

 

Why are Modern Switches Important:

In the grand architecture of modern networking, Switches play a pivotal role. They facilitate robust connectivity, enhance network security, and manage bandwidth allocation. This ensures that critical applications receive the necessary resources, thereby maintaining the overall health and functionality of the network. In essence, switches are the unsung heroes that underpin the digital communication infrastructure, enabling the smooth operation of both small-scale local networks and expansive enterprise systems.

Here’s a simple breakdown: 

  • Connect Devices: Link computers, printers, servers, and other devices within a network 
  • Direct Data Traffic: Ensure data packets are sent to the correct device 
  • Prevent Bottlenecks: Manage data flow to avoid congestion 
  • Enhance Performance: Optimise network efficiency and speed 
  • Improve Security: Help protect the network from unauthorised access 

 

Key benefits of our Switches: 

  • High throughput: Support gigabit and multi-gigabit speeds for fast, reliable data transfer across your organisation 
  • Layer 2 and Layer 3 capabilities: From basic connectivity to advanced routing, our switches can handle both the core and distribution layers of the network 
  • VLAN support: Segment your network to improve security and efficiency, isolating sensitive data and critical business functions 
  • Energy efficiency: Our switches are designed with power-saving technologies that reduce operational costs while maintaining high performance
