system requires optimized network

Comments · 151 Views

The evolution of virtualization has been driving network modernization and transforming data centers.

This consolidated system requires optimized network bandwidth to facilitate the successful proliferation of media files, immense amounts of data generated through IoT devices and large programs. Otherwise, networks can suffer from latency issues that can slow down data transfers and applications. Similarly, data bottlenecks caused by poor network architecture or slow-switch ports that don’t match the server speed can lead to traffic congestion for the server.

Prioritizing bandwidth utilization and a watchful, proactive approach to underperforming devices and network traffic is key to eliminating latency and bottlenecks.

Routers and switches that use COPS, the common open-policy service, can allow QoS policy to run from the server. Enabling QoS over routers can enhance data streaming by prioritizing data packets through pre-defined policies and conditions. Once you have set priorities, you can prioritize the traffic by distinct services, including applications, web browsing, interfaces and devices with IP and MAC addresses. This will enable network administrators to divide the bandwidth based on the most critical applications available.
