Delivering Value to Education

Enhancing Teachers and Students outcomes in schools, colleges and for further education

Core Switches

Fibre

DfE Guidelines suggest that switches should be able to stack at 40Gb minimum, and critical core equipment should be further enhanced dual power supplies, management modules and dual links to routers, servers and other core switches.

The Omada range of core switches fully meet the guidance and are further enhanced by offering full Layer 3 capabilities, offering 10Gb connection out to the edge of the network, or 1Gb copper, as well as resilient stacking.

Management

The Omada platform provides a unified network management interface for schools, MATs, and campuses, offering permission-based access and control.  This management can be on premises, cloud hosted, virtual or hybrid, meeting your own IT strategy.

Edge Switches

The DfE state that edge switches must offer 1Gb ports, or faster where the edge devices need it. These are recommended to then use 2 x 10Gb fibre links back to the core switches, for improved resilience where it is needed, delivering the availability to Ed-Tech, CCTV, Laptops and access control, to maximise the impact to the teaching and learning outcomes.

The Omada range allows you to have the right switch in the right location, delivering value for money and ensuring the right solution.
