Asus GigaX 2124X network solution helps Foshan Internet cafes

In today's network applications, Internet cafes are not only a large group, but also a special environment different from other network applications. This is because nodes in Internet cafes often need to browse, chat, download, VOD, online games, and many other tasks at the same time, making the data traffic huge, especially the outbound traffic, in addition, Internet users who consume in Internet cafes have different needs, which leads to complicated network applications. The existence of the above particularity determines that Internet cafes have requirements for the choice of network devices. The key is the specific embodiment of the application. For a Foshan Internet cafe with around 300 users, the requirements for network equipment are certainly not low. After a long-term comprehensive investigation and extensive contact with many manufacturers, the Asus network of network devices and solution providers has become the best choice.
Asus 360-degree network to meet user needs
Foshan Internet cafes with around 300 users need to provide customers with Webpage Browsing, sending and receiving emails, QQ chats, online games, online education, online movies, and other services; in addition, with game servers, movie servers, and VOD On-Demand Servers, customers can play games and watch movies through the LAN, therefore, it is necessary to provide high-speed bandwidth and high-Stability network equipment to ensure the normal operation of Internet cafes and customers' high-speed multimedia network applications.
Asus, which is committed to providing individuals and enterprise users with the most innovative products and application solutions, has a long-term in-depth understanding of the Internet cafe industry and in-depth communication and interaction with customers, based on the problems, needs, and application scale of Internet cafes in the Construction of Internet cafes, the solution provides Internet operators with a variety of comprehensive product lines and subdivided requirements, it can fully meet the diversified network application types and users' demands for higher network bandwidth, transmission quality and network performance.
In addition, the GigaX 2124X network solution selected by Asus based on the actual requirements of Foshan Internet cafes can meet the needs of Internet cafes in terms of advanced network application, multi-service, scalability and stability, this not only enables customers to transmit voice, video, and other data simultaneously on a broadband network, but also supports a variety of new business data processing capabilities, allowing users to access the Internet at high speed, so that big data traffic is not dropped or paused, high stability and reliability to ensure uninterrupted and stable operation for a long period of time. The most important thing is that GigaX 2124X is easy to configure, easy to manage, easy to install, user interface friendly and easy to understand, and has excellent performance and price ratio.

High speed, stability, scalability, and simple management

Because Foshan is a medium-and small-sized Internet cafe with around 300 points, it adopts a two-layer structure of the core layer and access layer under the professional advice of Asus network. This structure is especially suitable for small-and medium-sized Internet cafes, this solution eliminates unnecessary forwarding time loss and enables faster data transmission across the network. However, this solution requires vswitches on the core layer to have high backboard bandwidth and high packet forwarding speed, because almost all data passes through the core switch, if the bandwidth of the backboard is too small, it is easy to cause the switch to go down.
The high cost-effective GigaX 2124X, back-board bandwidth up to 48 Gbps, forwarding speed up to 35.7 Mbps, provides 24 1000 M RJ-45 ports and 4 SFP fiber slots, flexible cable access type, it facilitates connection between servers and lower-level switches. High-speed backplane and line-rate forwarding ensure high-speed data forwarding, eliminate network access bottlenecks, make video applications smoother, and play games faster, the coexistence of multiple network applications will not slow down. The rich L2 management functions include VLAN, TRUNK, port image, QoS, and ACL to meet the needs of Internet cafe regional planning, filtering, and security monitoring, network security is guaranteed. The WEB-based friendly management interface is simple and clear for easy configuration and maintenance. The access layer uses GigaX1124B, which is fully gigabit-cost-effective, to implement gigabit-to-desktop access, internet cafe user access bandwidth is accelerated in an all-round way to experience high-speed online surfing.
1) Full Gigabit networking, high-speed "no delay" online game experience
The network is built on a full Gigabit link. as the core and connection layer switch, GigaX2124X and 1124B all have a 48 gb ultra-high backboard bandwidth, meeting the needs of m full duplex, ensuring smooth data exchange within the Internet cafe, this avoids faults such as disconnection caused by data congestion, fundamentally relieves network congestion bottlenecks, and provides a high-speed "real-time" transmission platform for online games, from Gigabit to desktop, this allows gamers to experience high-speed games.
2) High Security
Supports 802.1X-based port authentication to effectively control illegal user access. It provides VLAN division based on ports and 802.1Q, divides the entire network into multiple parts, and uses the ACL function, blocking visitor data outside the network ensures network security. In addition, the flexible configuration of ACL can effectively suppress the impact of viruses such as shock waves on the network, and protect network security; the Port Mirroring function can meet the needs of the current public security system for Internet cafe monitoring. The monitoring software uses the mirror function of the switch to centrally monitor the data traffic of the entire Internet cafe for analysis and forwarding.
3) Overall scalability
This solution adopts a typical hierarchical network design concept to maintain effective connectivity. When the network scale is expanded, the network can continue to be used without too many adjustments; gigaX2124X provides 24 full-gigabit interfaces. In addition to server connections, GigaX2124X can also support Gigabit access of over 20 access layer switches. The network size can be adjusted flexibly between-users, making it easy to upgrade and expand.
4) Easy Management
GigaX2124X supports ACNM Asus centralized network management), WEB and other management methods. When using WEB graphical management methods, network administrators can quickly become familiar with and use equipment to facilitate network management and maintenance.
5) good after-sales service system
ASUS not only has mature and complete network products, but also has established a sound after-sales technical support system that can quickly solve various problems users encounter when using ASUS network products, ensure the long-term stable operation of your network.
