The cost-effectiveness of all gigabit switches is the standard

Cost-effectiveness is the standard for users to choose products. For all gigabit switches, the parameters of many products are very close, making users feel at a loss. With the development of network technology and the decreasing cost of network equipment, Gigabit network has replaced m and become the mainstream market. There are more and more brands of All-gigabit switches on the market, and how to select the most cost-effective all-gigabit basic-type dummies) switch is a headache for users and even some professionals.

A 24-port full-Gigabit Switch with 48 Gbit/s backboard bandwidth. packet forwarding rate, MAC address table items, and packet cache parameters are all very similar. These indicators cannot determine the cost-effectiveness of increasingly homogeneous vswitches of different brands. The price/performance ratio of the 24-port full Gigabit basic switch is measured by the stability, repair rate, and Warranty Period of the full Gigabit Switch.

Stability:

The undisputed fact is that the faster the speed, the more important the stability. Today, with the rapid development of the network, people have higher and higher requirements on Network stability. In the 10/100 M network era, if the network is occasionally unstable, slow, card, or disconnected, the user's tolerance will be higher than the current one. As the network speed increases, the more applications people use on the network, the higher their dependence on the network. The current network is unacceptable for a few seconds, not to mention transient network disconnection caused by unstable devices.

Repair Rate:

The repair rate is directly proportional to the stability of the product to some extent. The repair rate of unstable products is usually high. If the purchased product encounters a fault and requires repair, the network will inevitably fail to be used during the repair process. Today, with a high degree of network dependence, the loss is very serious and intolerable.

Warranty Period:

At present, the product warranty periods of different brands on the market are quite different. Most of them are one-year warranty, and a few are three-year warranty. Some people may think that as long as the product stability is high and the repair rate is low, the warranty period does not matter. If we think about it in turn, we will find that stability and repair rate are related to the warranty period. Because the competition in the 24-port full-Gigabit Switch market is fierce, the product is already in a price war and the profit of each manufacturer is low. If the product is unstable and the repair rate is high, the hidden cost of the manufacturer will inevitably increase, the profit will be further reduced, and the long warranty period also means that the risk of reduced profits will be higher. At the same time, to ensure more stable products and reduce rework, we need to choose higher quality components. Therefore, the product's warranty period can also reflect the product's stability and repair rate.

In addition, the length of the warranty period depends on the release period of the warranty period. If the three-year warranty period for the full Gigabit Switch product was introduced in the previous year, it would not necessarily reflect the stability and repair rate of the product, because the profits of products in the past few years are relatively high, and manufacturers have enough profits to bear this repair risk.

At this stage, almost no manufacturer will easily extend the 24-port full-gigabit basic-type dummies) Switch Product Warranty Period. But there are always exceptions in everything. For example, aitai technology, a well-known professional network solution provider and service provider in China, has recently moved against the market and proactively extended the 1224-port,-port, and-gigabit basic-type dummies, SL 1126 24 port m + 2G port basic type dummies) Switch warranty period to three years, in addition to demonstrating that the manufacturer has a high degree of confidence in its product stability and repair rate, i'm afraid I can't think of any other reasons. Network Equipment dealers are very concerned about these three indicators. Some brands on the market offer low-cost full-gigabit switches, but in the end, a large number of after-sales services are caused by stability and repair rate, to lower or even make negative profits.
