Knowledge in one place.
Datacom expands its portfolio for the corporate market with the launch of its new line of LAN switches, comprised of the DM-S400, DM-S300, and DM-S100 families. The equipment is designed to meet the needs of layered corporate LAN architectures, covering core, distribution, and access scenarios in small, medium, and large environments.
The new line integrates with Datacom's already established corporate Wi-Fi and server solutions, enabling the construction of a complete, coherent LAN infrastructure aligned with best practices adopted in corporate projects.
Reference Corporate LAN Architecture
To contextualize the application of the new line of switches, Datacom presents a reference corporate LAN topology, based on a traditional hierarchical architecture, widely used in corporate networks.
The focus of the solution is on organizing the client's network into functional layers, clearly separating the roles of core, distribution, and access. This approach facilitates network expansion, simplifies operation, and maintains architectural consistency across different project scales.
Centralized management of the switches and Wi-Fi network can be performed through DmCloud, Datacom's cloud platform focused exclusively on the management and control of equipment, without interfering with the physical LAN architecture.
Core Layer
The core layer acts as the central convergence point of the LAN network, concentrating uplinks, connections to servers, and interconnections with the lower layers.
DM-S400 – Core Switch
The DM-S400 family is designed for operation as a core switch in corporate LAN networks, offering higher-capacity interfaces for traffic aggregation and server integration.
Key features:
Distribution and Access Layer
The distribution layer is responsible for aggregating traffic from the access layer and organizing network domains.
The AP line includes indoor and outdoor models, allowing coverage of different corporate environments. The APs are connected exclusively to the access layer, maintaining adequate isolation between WLAN, core, and distribution.
Wi-Fi network management is performed by DmCloud, centralizing policies, configuration, and monitoring.
Integrated Servers in LAN Architecture
The presented LAN architecture also includes integration with Datacom servers, allowing the deployment of local services and applications directly on the client's infrastructure, reducing dependence on external resources and facilitating operational control.
The DM-SV line supports different blade models, such as DM-SV01 and DM-SV04, installed in chassis like the DM1904, enabling multiple configurations within the same cabinet, according to the application profile.
In this context, the servers can be used to run applications such as:
Connections between servers and the core LAN layer can be made via DAC (Direct Attach Cable) and/or SFP optical interfaces, allowing the interconnection to be tailored to the performance and availability requirements of each project.
LAN Architecture Oriented to Enterprise Applications
Datacom's new line of LAN switches was developed to compose consistent enterprise architectures, integrating connectivity, computing, and WLAN in a layered infrastructure suitable for different network scales.
The combination of switches, corporate Wi-Fi, and servers allows for the implementation of LAN solutions aligned with current performance, availability, and operational demands, maintaining architectural consistency in small, medium, and large environments.
Datacom has a team dedicated to the corporate market, prepared to support the specification and sizing of LAN architectures according to the requirements of each project.
