Enterprise
Enterprises today face a rapidly shifting technology landscape, where bringing your own device (BYOD) is expected by employees, whilst the strongest data security is expected by the board coming to terms with more stringent data regulations like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
IT departments need to be flexible and innovative, and picking the best component or platform and being able to do so with complete freedom and flexibility is absolutely necessary if an enterprise is to remain competitive.
The Enterprise sector is the sector Sol Distribution has traditionally catered for, long before any other; this is our bread and butter.
LAN Infrastructure
ALE manufacturers an extensive range of fixed, chassis-based, and hardened switches, to provide flexible, enterprise-grade solutions from the access, to the distribution and core. ALE and Sol Distribution have worked on several large-scale LAN and WLAN deployments across the UK with an number of different resellers and systems integrators, and have the experience needed to help our partners win these projects and deliver them successfully.
For small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) as well as medium- and large-sized enterprises, Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise (ALE) provides exceptional value in highly available, secure and easy-to manage IP networks with a comprehensive, standards-based product portfolio. ALE can provide manageable layer 2/layer 3 LAN switches, both stackable and chassis-based, supporting power over Ethernet (PoE) and interface speeds from 100 Mb/s up to 40 Gb/s for office, campus and data centre networks.
Wireless LAN Infrastructure
ALE can provide a wide variety of indoor and outdoor access points including Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) technologies support versatile deployments in any size network. ALE WLAN products do not use controllers, they use a distributed intelligence model, where the tasks that would have been performed by the controller are distributed across the access points, and if one goes down, they can intelligently reroute traffic to maintain coverage. This architecture can support up to 10,000 Access Points in a single deployment.
