TP-Link presents Omada SDN: professional solution for SMEs
The customer can choose between three different approaches: on-permises, hybrid-cloud or full-cloud. The management takes place through a new portal which has been renewed both in the graphic interface and in the functionalities and available through the update of the Omada Controller.
«TP-Link Omada SDN provides fast and reliable wireless connections via Access Point professional both Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 6, and 10GE, 2.5GE and GE wired connections to adapt to applications in different scenarios, such as in structures dedicated to hospitality, education, healthcare, in shops, offices and much more, "explains the company.
" Traditional corporate networks with a complex network topology require devices to be configured multiple times and individually. The information is distributed among different devices and it is difficult for administrators to quickly understand the general state of the network. Furthermore, in networks structured in this way, it is not easy to readjust the IT infrastructure when it needs to be expanded, with significant waste of time and needs for continuous maintenance. The Omada SDN (Software Defined Networking) solution overcomes these obstacles ».
In practice, Omada SDN allows automatic batch management of network devices via a centralized controller. Furthermore, thanks to a scalable type and a clear configuration of the devices, the network infrastructure is flexible and quick to install, with maintenance costs that promise to be contained.
centralized management in the cloud allows access from remote to all the devices that comprise the network such as access points, switches, and gateways, so you always have under control the entire infrastructure, in order to act in a timely manner in case it is necessary a technical intervention, and view statistics about the traffic data .
depending On the needs and characteristics of the network, you can count on three different types of controllers: Software Controllers Hybrid-Cloud management for up to 1,500 devices ; Hardware Controller, Hybrid-Cloud, managing up to 500 devices; Cloud-based Controller, Full-Cloud, with the management of an unlimited number of devices.
However, the system Omada meets all the connectivity needs in a variety of areas in which it is necessary to have a wireless network at a professional level, while also allowing the application of the network technologies most innovative, such as the Mesh, the security protocol WPA3, the ability to create networks for Guest access using a Captive Portal custom and more advanced features.
Particularly interesting is the “Omada zero-touch”, with which you can deploy and configure remote networks multi-site , then without the need to send a technician on-site. The possibility of intervening on the network configurations remotely, in the cloud, ensures support the timely for the correct realization of the infrastructure and lower costs.
it is worth to specify that the TP-Link Omada separates the management data of the network from those of the users, without traffic these last few steps through the cloud, by ensuring a better protection of privacy. "We are very proud to present the new Omada SDN, cloud solution, end-to-end dedicated to the networking business," said Pingji Li, GM of Network Business Department of the TP-Link . "With this architecture we aim to simplify the management of the network and to contribute to the realization of a wireless infrastructure and networking more efficient, reliable and secure for business applications".
The new product range and the management platform, the Full-Cloud will be available in Italy starting from September 2020 . The new interface of network management is available via upgrade of controller Omada.
the TP - Link has a full program of dedicated training partners , you will develop throughout the second part of the year in order to introduce the various features and advantages of the new solution Omada SDN. The first event is the webinar scheduled for Thursday, July 9 at 11.00 am. To register, click here .
