Internet cafe upgrade boom launched by HP Internet cafe solution (1)

With the increasingly fierce competition among Internet cafes and diverse service models, emerging online programs such as online games, on-demand videos, and online entertainment have injected new vitality into the Internet cafe industry. In particular, the vigorous development of the online gaming industry has brought infinite "Business Opportunities" to many Internet cafe operators. At the same time, it has put forward higher requirements on the hardware facilities of Internet cafes.
Recently, Internet cafes have set off a construction upgrade boom. From hardware to software to local decoration, Internet cafe owners have made a new round of investment in Internet cafes from various aspects. However, the main function of Internet cafes determines the core needs of users for Internet cafes, that is, networks. The machine configuration and Internet cafe environment that users are concerned with must be based on smooth, stable, and high-speed networks. To address the increasing demands of Internet cafes, Hewlett-Packard has launched an Internet cafe solution to help Internet cafes save costs and achieve the highest ROI.

Internet cafe Demand Analysis
Before providing solutions for Internet cafe users, Hewlett-Packard conducts a detailed market survey to understand the status quo, problems, and requirements of Internet cafes. At present, the demand for Internet cafes is mainly concentrated in the following aspects:
Stable and high-speed demands
At present, Internet cafe users are more and more widely used in the network. From online games to P2P software, these occupy a lot of network resources, and sometimes even slow down the network speed of the entire Internet cafe. Once the network stability and high speed cannot be guaranteed, Internet cafes will lose their most fundamental competitiveness.
Security requirements
Internet cafe users have different surfing habits, and most Internet cafe users lack the basic awareness of Network Security. They often browse dangerous sites and are vulnerable to malware. When problems are discovered, they often cause great losses or seriously affect users' usage and Internet cafe operations.
Ease of Management
To meet the needs of users, there are more and more large Internet cafes. There are thousands of machines in Internet cafes. The management permissions of Internet cafe administrators are different, and the manageable content is also different, which makes it difficult to manage.
Easy to maintain
The maintenance of the hardware infrastructure of Internet cafes is an important part of the operation of Internet cafes. Internet cafes have limited manpower and it is usually time-consuming to complete the configuration, installation, and network deployment of hundreds of thousands of hardware. In severe cases, the normal operation of Internet cafes will be affected.
Multiple Application Requirements
More and more network applications have led to diversified network needs for users-players keen on e-sports pay more attention to the stability of LAN connections; players keen on online games pay more attention to network stability; users who are keen on online videos pay more attention to the high speed of the network, which also leads to the diversity of Internet cafe operations. For example, they need to set up different regions for players with different needs and allocate different network resources.
To address these needs, HP ProCurve Networking provides a variety of Internet cafe network solutions to meet all-round needs of Internet cafes and create the best network environment for Internet cafes.

Network networking solution for small-sized Internet cafes (within 50 user nodes)
Such Internet cafes have a relatively small business area of less than 200 m²), the number of computers is relatively small, and the computer display is relatively concentrated. Although the number of computers is small, the network application and performance requirements are not small at all. Hewlett-Packard makes the following designs for a small Internet cafe network with fewer than 50 computers:
Because of its small scale, small-sized Internet cafes use the ADSL Access Method in the solution. ADSL is a popular broadband access method and the cost is very suitable. Therefore, it is the first choice for small-sized Internet cafe access. Using the client system local hard drive Boot Mode, Network for peer network, host using a higher configuration of PC or PC server, Switch using HP ProCurve Switch 1800-24G or ProCurve Switch1700-24 to connect all clients, both machines are web-managed stackable switches that can be managed with port mirroring. -24g is a gigabit line rate switch, and-24 is a 10-Gigabit line rate switch. For example)
