Is the cost of building a corporate campus network high?
Ruijie Simplified Ethernet All-Optical Network Provides "Good Remedy" to Solve Difficulties
When the campus network architecture becomes more complex,
traffic pressure becomes more obvious, and the cost of transformation and
upgrades soars, how to reduce costs and increase efficiency in basic network
construction has become an urgent need for many enterprises. Ruijie Networks
focused on the above pain points and launched Ruijie's ultra-simplified
Ethernet all-optical network solution, providing a path to break through this
dilemma. At a recent media conference, Ruijie Networks Enterprise Industry
Solution Director Ye Yongjun gave a detailed explanation on the enterprise's minimalist
Ethernet all-optical network solution.
Digital transformation is reaching thousands of industries
as a powerful measure to reduce costs and increase efficiency. With the
deepening of digital transformation, enterprises will increasingly rely on and
use basic networks, and the efficiency of network transmission will greatly
affect the effectiveness of digital transformation. This is particularly
prominent in the construction of enterprise park networks.
On the one hand, all scenarios of enterprises from
production, office to R&D are undergoing digital baptism, which requires
that the basic network construction of the park needs to achieve full coverage;
on the other hand, the popularization of 5G, cloud computing, AI and other
technologies has led to the impact of the campus network. The performance
requirements of the system are getting higher and higher, and high performance
and mobility have become the mainstream trend.

The choice under the trend of "light advancement and
retreat"
From the perspective of the development of network technology in the park, "optical advancement in copper retreat" is a major trend. The reason for this phenomenon, Ye Yongjun analyzed: First, the overall cost of optical fiber cabling has been greatly reduced; secondly, compared with the traditional Ethernet twisted pair cable, the bandwidth of the optical fiber has a greater increase; in addition, the transmission distance of the optical fiber is also The original limit of 100 meters was broken. Therefore, the rise of all-optical networks is inevitable.
In the current optical network technology platform, Ruijie
firmly adopts the Ethernet optical network technology platform. The reason for
choosing the Ethernet optical network, Ye Yongjun said: "This platform has
natural advantages. In contrast, the Ethernet all-optical network uses the
Ethernet architecture and protocol, which has strong compatibility, higher
bandwidth, and better support for wireless. , And the technicians are easier to
use, and the maintenance is simpler and more efficient."
Layout all-optical network: cost is no longer a concern
In the campus network upgrade, the all-optical network is
gaining momentum, but many companies still hold a wait-and-see attitude on
whether to deploy the all-optical network, and "cost" is a major
consideration.
In response to this concern, Ruijie’s Enterprise Minimalist
Ethernet All-Optical Network Solution provides this answer: The minimalist
Ethernet all-optical network brings the network from the core switch in the IT
room to various scenes in the park, whether in production or office
environments. The effect of "reducing costs" while improving quality
and efficiency is obvious.
Ye Yongjun introduced that in the production scenario, the
fiber enters the workshop, and the cabinet position can be set as needed, which
not only realizes flexible wiring at distances of more than 100m, but also
facilitates the increase or decrease of information points in the workshop in
the future. Moreover, the core/convergence of this solution is directly
connected to the switch through optical fiber, which can cancel the active
convergent computer room, and at the same time, cancel the strong current of
the convergent computer room. There is no need for air-conditioning, cabinets
and other facilities. This further reduces costs, and no dedicated maintenance
personnel are required. Is 0. On the whole, this scheme not only reduces the
cost of wire removal and wiring, but also effectively curbs the energy
consumption and equipment and operation and maintenance costs of the workshop.
In office scenarios, optical fiber enters the room, and
wired and wireless wiring in the room is realized through panel APs and switches;
fully silent switches, flexible ports, and plug-and-play. In the past, the
adjustment of the office layout always brought cost pressure, and the change of
space often means that the wiring needs to be re-wired, which is equivalent to
re-decoration for a well-decorated office. Ruijie's ultra-simplified Ethernet
all-optical network solution can effectively save the cost of expansion. The
optical fiber is no longer limited by bandwidth, and expansion does not require
rewiring and refurnishing, and the wiring cost is reduced by 60%.
Demonstration: Ruijie Aurora's solution helps Coficabo
reduce costs and increase efficiency
Real knowledge comes from practice. How effective is the
implementation of Ruijie's ultra-simplified Ethernet all-optical network solution?
At the press conference, Shan Zhuoqun, IT manager of Kefei Kaibo Cable
(Tianjin) Co., Ltd., shared the application case of Ruijie Enterprise's minimal
Ethernet all-optical solution in Kefei Kaibo.
Kefei Kaibo Cable (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. is affiliated to the
Kefei Kaibo Group, which is mainly engaged in the design, manufacture and sales
of automotive cables and wires. In recent years, with the continuous
development of business, the company's original production capacity has been
unable to meet market demand, and the new plant project is currently being
implemented. But in the deployment of the plant network, many problems in the
original design were exposed.
"Designing and deploying in accordance with our
original copper wiring will bring about many problems: too many network cables
are troublesome to maintain, and temporary cable management is difficult. At
the same time, the current copper price soars and the cost of network cables
remains high, which will increase the production network of our new workshop.
Deployment and maintenance difficulty and cost." Shan Zhuoqun said.
In response to the needs of Coffecabo, Ruijie customized a
minimalist optical network solution for Coffecabo’s new 300-meter-long factory
and workshop, and the final solution was also awarded by design institutes and
project implementers. Recognized by multiple parties. According to Shan
Zhuoqun, this solution not only supports 10 Gigabit wireless WIFI 6 protocol,
is easy to modify and maintain, and is extremely cost-effective. The entire
project saves about 20,000 meters of network cables. Combined with equipment
costs, the company saves about 10 The cost of more than 10,000 yuan.
Concluding remarks
Ruijie's ultra-simplified Ethernet all-optical network
solution cleverly combines the two technical advantages of Ethernet and
all-optical network, and embodies the characteristics of "high bandwidth,
simplified operation and maintenance, and cost reduction". Ruijie Networks
adheres to the "scenario innovation" standpoint and continues to polish
campus network construction solutions that are truly suitable for
enterprise-level users, which will surely help more industry users to deepen
their digital transformation in the future.
