Network Infrastructure – Switches

What is a Network Switch?

A network switch is integral to your system’s operation; it is a device that connects all the zones or nodes of your network. Network switches are important for segregating and forwarding data, conserving network bandwidth and generally ensuring that your network components communicate quickly, efficiently and securely. Depending on the size of your network, you may have several linked switches over various types of mediums such as copper or fiber optic cabling. The type of switch you need depends on the types of systems that will be using it, at which speeds, and over what distances.

Proper switch selection and configuration up-front during your project can save you days of frustration down the line.  Contact System Epic to configure your network switch for QoS (Quality of Service) to better prioritize your network traffic, set up a VLAN configuration to help partition the various streams of network data, deploy a new or upgraded network switch, or to configure spanning tree and add redundancy and loop detection into your network.  We are experienced in working with the following types of switches.  If you don't see your specific brand here, please email us for a custom quote.
