What are Traffic Switching Solutions?
Traffic switching solutions use hardware and software to monitor and control the flow of traffic on and across networks to deliver consistent, high-performing operations. These networks can be on-premises, in a private or public cloud, or in a hybrid cloud environment.
Traffic switching solutions overlap with and include many of the functions and features of LAN Switches, Routers, Application Delivery Controllers (ADC), Load Balancing Software, Network Performance Monitoring Tools, and Software-Defined Networking (SDN).
Switching solutions connect multiple devices on the same network. These devices can share applications and information, as well as resources such as computers, printers, and wireless access points. They break down networks, providing distance and repeater extensions, isolating, and filtering traffic, relieving congestion, reducing collisions, managing the utilization rate, and increasing network performance. Cloud-managed switches can be monitored, updated, and configured remotely at any time, to control how traffic flows over a network.
Some examples of Traffic Switching Solutions include:
- Routers: connect multiple networks, choosing the best path for data to travel. Traffic can be routed based on priority, performance, and geography.
- Application Delivery Controllers (ADC): are network components that manage and optimize client connections to web and application servers.
- Load Balancing Software: automates resource distribution to support applications and websites.
- Network Performance Monitoring Tools: keep track of network performance and perform traffic analysis.
- Software Defined Networking (SDN): uses software APIs to manage network devices.
