Where to Use This Product
1. Corporate Core Switching
The ideal main switch for companies in JLT or Business Bay. Use it to connect multiple 24-port or 48-port user switches via 10G fiber, ensuring the entire office has bottleneck-free access to the server.
2. Server Aggregation
Perfect for data centers in Riyadh or Johannesburg. Use the 16 SFP+ ports to connect high-speed storage arrays (SAN/NAS) and servers, providing a dedicated 10G fabric.
3. Fiber-to-the-Building (FTTB)
A reliable distribution hub for residential towers. ISPs can bring a main fiber line in and use the 16 ports to distribute 10Gbps or 1Gbps fiber links to different floors or clients.
4. High-Performance Media Production
For studios in Dubai Media City, this switch allows multiple high-end editing workstations to share raw 4K/8K video assets from a central server simultaneously without stutter.
