Internet Development provides a powerful and stable operation platform for Internet cafes. During the past eight years, the Internet cafe industry has been criticized, until recently, the new National Policy on the internet cafe chain operation was introduced, and has received the attention or favor of regular troops from telecom operators, equipment vendors, software, game manufacturers, and other industries.
To stay competitive and provide better services for Internet users, early investment, provision of content services, system stability, service quality, operation speed, operation and maintenance cost management and maintenance are extremely important in Internet cafe operations, the choice of a stable and cost-effective network device is a major concern for Internet cafe operators.
Internet cafe Network Application Requirements]
Internet cafes are a special environment for network applications. Nodes in Internet cafes are constantly browsing, chatting, downloading, video-on-demand, and online games at the same time. The data traffic is huge, especially for Internet users who come to Internet cafes for consumption, the demands for Internet access vary, and applications are complex. At present, telecom operators are also concerned about cooperation in this field. These special characteristics determine that Internet cafes have the following requirements for network equipment: diversified network application types, it puts forward higher requirements on network bandwidth, transmission quality and network performance. Network applications must integrate advanced, multi-service, scalability, and stability to meet customers' needs for simultaneous transmission of voice, video, and data over a broadband network, it also supports a variety of new business data processing capabilities, and enables high-speed access to the Internet. Big data traffic is not dropped or paused. It features a wide range of features, common and cold-biased applications, and high stability and reliability to ensure uninterrupted and stable operation for a long time. The configuration is simple, easy to manage, and easy to install. the user interface is user-friendly and easy to understand, and must have excellent performance and price ratio.
SMC Internet cafe Solution]
SMC has participated in the formulation of standards for high-quality, standard-based connectivity and Internet access solutions. Its products include Ethernet products, wireless network devices, and SOHO devices. To maintain a leading position in the competition and competitive price, SMC uses 8% of its annual revenue as its research and design for new products. Many well-known computer companies in the world have established good cooperative relations with SMC, ranking second in brand awareness in Europe and America. Based on the development characteristics of Internet cafes in recent years, SMC has launched a set of Internet cafe solutions that are cost-effective, convenient to manage, and uniquely integrated and innovative Based on Gigabit Ethernet and IP technology architecture.

Topology of the SMC Internet cafe Networking Solution |
At present, Internet cafes are developing in the chain, standardization, and specialization direction in a decentralized and independent business model. Therefore, they usually have a large scale and a large number of workstations, many of the PCs are diskless PXE boot methods. In addition, Internet cafes also provide various services such as online competitive games, video chats, and VOD. Therefore, in the solution, core network devices must have high capacity, it is necessary to fully meet the network bandwidth needs of Internet users and provide fast Intelligent Processing. At the same time, because the network applications in Internet cafes are complex, different VLANs must be divided for different applications to ensure network security and manageability. Therefore, the selected core device must also have a gigabit layer-3 line rate forwarding function to provide long running time.
The SMC8612XL3 Gigabit Backbone Network pipe-type routing switch is selected as the core device in the SMC Internet cafe networking solution. This manageable and easy-to-configure Gigabit Switch can support up to 12 Gigabit Optical Fiber interfaces. The all-mini-GBIC slot design provides very high elasticity and optional redundant power supply groups, it can provide uninterrupted operation for Internet cafes for a longer period of time. It also provides three-layer line rate forwarding capabilities to ensure high-speed, secure, and smooth network channels between diskless workstations and servers. It also ensures mutual access between VLANs in different regions in Internet cafes and is an ideal backbone switch. At the same time, the L2/L4 access control list (ACL) can be used to prevent illegal Internet cafe intrusion. Server groups (including WWW, FTP, streaming media servers, and VOD servers) that meet application requirements and support entertainment activities in Internet cafes ).
