Building a business network usually starts with the router supplied by the internet provider. Additional devices are added gradually: a switch, then another one, then a Wi-Fi range extender. Each purchase addresses an immediate need and makes sense on its own. Together, however, they do not form a cohesive whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The problem emerges over time, at the least expected moment. The connection drops during a video call with a customer. The payment terminal loses network access at peak times. Cameras have been added, only to reveal there is no way to power them. This is when the question that should have been asked from the start returns: what equipment does the business actually need, and how can it be connected into a single, working network?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The good news is that you do not need enterprise-class solutions to have a predictable network that can be managed without an administrator. Below, we look at four typical scenarios from a small premises to an office with surveillance and IP telephony, and how to build a network in each using equipment from the HPE Networking Instant On range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
