Overview :

The ever-evolving landscape of user demands and technological advancements is exerting significant pressure on campus networks, necessitating scalability for increased device support and enhanced bandwidth delivery. The exponential surge in wireless traffic, propelled by the widespread adoption of 802.11ac and 802.11ax Wi-Fi, is steering the shift from 1GbE to Multi-gigabit at the access level. This shift, in turn, demands faster networks at the aggregation and core levels.

Organizations are swiftly transitioning applications from private data centers to the cloud, emphasizing the need for constant, reliable, high-speed connections to the cloud. This transition has led to a reduction in data center size, rendering most large chassis/routers impractical due to their complexity and high cost.

Conventional enterprise networks were initially structured around chassis systems to furnish dependable, high-speed, and scalable routing capabilities to the campus. However, recent advancements in network processors have enabled the packaging of these capabilities into more flexible stackable switch designs. This innovation facilitates new network architectures, allowing the distribution of the core across the campus, deploying ports and switching capacity precisely where needed.
