What is enterprise networking? This is an IT infrastructure consisting of physical and virtual networks and protocols for midsize and large organizations for providing connectivity among users, devices, and applications connected on a Local Area Network(LAN). LAN network uses switches, routers, and Ethernet or WIFI connections for connecting multiple users. For secured access, enterprises run on VPN software that encrypts the user data while connecting to external websites or servers. This approach will encrypt the data using virtual private networks (VPNs) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption. It also implements firewall software to inspect and control network traffic.
Enterprise network consists of endpoints, network devices, communication protocols, LANs, WANs, and other components that enable communications and information exchange. This networking approach will offer various benefits that include:
- Fast and convenient resource and file sharing
- Maximized performance and increased productivity
- Improved Quality of Service(QoS)
- High level of network availability
- Improved network security
- Proactive network maintenance and issue prevention
- Control overall operating cost
- Improves communication and information availability
- Speeds up the routine operations of organization’s
- Create a sustainable structure to protect information exchange
- Allows multiple people to work on a project remotely and simultaneously
- Simplified WAN management capabilities
- Controlled access to company's resources
In an enterprise network, one of the serious concerns that affect the organization performance is slow issues in the enterprise network. This issue is caused by increased traffic and insufficient bandwidth. Mostly, slow issues arise when streaming and viewing large digital files or downloading them. The easiest method to solve this issue is improving the network capabilities.
Another issue associated with enterprise networks is the difficulty to connect the network address with the DHCP server. This issue occurs because of various reasons like losing internet connection, use of static IP instead of dynamic IP, and more. The commonly occurring reason for this issue is mistakenly configuring the VLAN setup instead of a DHCP server.
