SMBs, you do notice that your increasing business requires much more comprehensive corporate structure to conduct diversified tasks? At the same time as your corporate structure escalates the complexity of the IT infrastructure such as the considerable number of wires for PCs needed, the management of bandwidth usage, the need of isolated date transmission between departments and so on. Lacking sufficient IT resources to deal with these issues? DrayTek VigorSwitch series make you and your IT professionals' lives easier. In addition to the basic switch function for managing PCs, the VigorSwitch series takes care to ensure stable quality and security of data flow.

The VigorSwitch series utilizes both fixed and dynamic methods to ensure your quality of data transmission, especially for real-time applications. DrayTek bandwidth management allows users to define different bandwidth for various departments. For example, you might like your Sales Dept. to always have highest speed for data upload/download to achieve customers' requests ASAP. On the other hand, your HR Dept. could be allocated the smaller bandwidth due to its job function more focusing on internal communication. DrayTek also gives the option in dynamic mode to apply QoS to make sure the essential data always receives the highest priority. For instance, QoS gives your VoIP the highest priority to ensure the crystal-clear voice quality.

For external networking securiy, the VigorSwitch series applies IEEE802.1x authentications for each network access point. The MAC filter function allows users to limit the number of MAC address per port. Users can define static MAC addresses for each port to ensure the access of registered machines. With these two features, users can establish an access mechanism with identifying user and machine while controlling the number of access stations easily.

You wouldn’t want an individual in your organization to access the corporate confidential data not corresponding to his/her job function. The VigorSwitch series allows you to set up various VLAN groups and control the access between certain VLAN groups to enhance security. For example, Sales Dept. (VLAN 1) would only have limited or no data accessibility to Financial Dept. (VLAN 2) dependent upon corporate policy. On the other hand, employees in the same department (VLAN) can exchange data quickly to enhance performance.

Besides providing security, VLAN group setup also lets you easily grant suitable bandwidth to particular departments. VLAN assists dynamic data transmission through Q in Q. For example, VigorSwitch series would assign the tag for certain data related to real-time applications such as VoIP or IPTV to obtain the highest speed through your network.
