It's a good network covering and security company for the internet. But I'm done with it. I don't want the security solution. Now, I try to learn about it. That's it. Not for long-term internet use.

Most of our solutions rely on a multi-talent approach to address our needs. We implement straightforward switching technology that automates the provision of connectivity, IP configurations, and switching based on customer requests and requirements. In our environment, we typically have a significant number of network stacks in operation, often with ten-gigabit interconnections. The smallest environment we manage involves about twenty-five stacks, and the largest one comprises over two thousand nine hundred switches.

We are using it as an unmanaged product to which we can't take access, so we just play L2 switches. At the branch access layer, we are using the aforementioned feature. Right now, I'm unsure where we have and how much we have of the solution since they are L2 switches. Currently, I don't have an available inventory.

We sell Cisco switches and routers. In unmanaged switches, we sell Linksys. In India, there are only a few models available in Linksys. Nowadays, they are only selling Wi-Fi routers and switches in the name of Linksys. Other products are available under the brand name Cisco. We are using Cisco products for the core banking sector. We are using Linksys products in educational institutes and small enterprises because Linksys products are cheaper than Cisco switches.

I support clients who are doing software development and they have their own servers, so we maintain the Cisco network for them. These switches are what they use in the network infrastructure. These are small startups that cannot be on the cloud because of local government regulations. As such, they need to have their own switches and routers.

In our environment, we are using Cisco switches in Visio clusters. We are using Dell servers, and we are using Dell Precision workstations. I do not remember the model number of the Cisco switches. We are using the Cisco network series of switches and they are the L2 class. I think they are the 2960 series of switches. At present, our company policy does not allow us to host any of our data on the public cloud. We are revising the information security policy. Until this new policy comes into effect, we will not be able to go into the public cloud. In the end, the switches will continue to be a component of data interpretation in our environment.

I have been in so many situations using this product it is hard to choose a primary use. I have worked for many companies, so we have used them as access switches, we have used them as distribution switches, we have used them as IDF (Intermediate Distribution Frame) closets for floor switches. We have used them as code switches and clusters and chassis. I have gone through using all the different versions of switches in many scenarios, like remote offices, access to quotas for distribution. I have used the switches on every level and in exhaustive possibilities.

We use this solution to build networks that interconnect different branches and buildings in different layers. We can also connect to a cloud environment. The model of switch that is used depends on the application. I prefer to use the 4500 series for the distribution layer, but for the access layer, the 2950 series is better.
