Enterprise networking – The intelligent backbone of your business.

New developments such as AI, machine learning and analytics are revealing the need to meet new requirements such as programmability, automated set-ups and changes to and visibility in the network as well as network access control and rule-based network segmentation. New software-based consumption models and software-defined networking as well as cloud-based networking and edge computing or even self-teaching networks require enterprise networking to completely rethink itself in order to keep a strong a backbone.

Networks have to be easy, automated and cloud-ready. What you require is a new intelligence that coordinates, networks and evaluates communication in your company—and is of course always on. The increasing number of end devices and remote workers can be integrated and managed easily. For company IT security, network security plays a very important role, since company-relevant information is transferred on the network and provided to employees.  Access should only be granted to those that have all the necessary permissions.

The advantages of a future-proof enterprise network:

LAN switching – Modern and intelligent networking.

Modern LAN switching means more than just a network. The LAN-switching infrastructure connects an array of systems and devices to each other that need to communicate inside the company network. Highly available and secure LANs are crucial for companies due to increasingly bandwidth-heavy applications e.g. video communication and the increased use of Wi-Fi technologies. The focus no longer lies solely on having connectivity with a certain bandwidth. Networks are taking on more and more tasks to increase the security and availability of communication and prevent unwanted access, while making sure that data from company-critical applications are transferred with the highest priority – and hence guaranteeing quality-of-service.

LAN switches have long become the basis for new opportunities in the network, for example when integrating building services or a lot of sensors that can be controlled and managed intelligently through switches. Virtualisation and central management of hardware, control software and applications have made software-defined networking the new paradigm, allowing IT to control and optimise business-critical applications as needed. LAN switching is modern and intelligent enterprise networking.

Network security – Control access to your company network.

With its different access routes and variety of devices, network access control (NAC) is becoming a central component of network security, defining which parties are allowed to communicate via the network and which not. Role-based guidelines protect the network from malware and unauthorised access, allowing only guideline-compliant devices and users to access sensitive company data and resources. Intelligent enterprise networks are capable of using behaviour-based analyses to recognise deviations from the norm and activate countermeasures instantly. The use of modern, next-generation firewalls is essential, as it protects the company network through advanced functions such as URL filtering and advanced malware protection and reacts to zero day attacks.

Regardless of routers, switches, firewalls, Wi-Fi controllers, access points or cloud-based network components and services, Bechtle will provide you with state-of-the-art technology for interconnected, integrated security features for next-generation network security. We address many other topics related to security in company networks on the IT Security page.
