Huawei NetEngine 8000 review: Exploring the features of SRv6
Let's talk about the advantages of IPv6-based segment routing technology, which displaces LDP tag allocation and network resource reservation protocols, RSVP on the example of a 10-gigabit router for small businesses and consider how FlexE technology helps to maintain a guaranteed bandwidth level for customers.
.
In recent years, more equipment for routing network traffic has been supplied under the Huawei brand than under other brands, and part of the merit of the company is that it was at ...
How SSD A data Legend 960 [ALEG-960-1 TCS] behaves in office and server loads
The two-sided SSD layout always promises interesting speed, and when you have two DDR4 cache chips on board under the control of a 4-core controller, Silicon Motion SM2264, the result is high stability in mixed loads and excellent multithreading up to 128 threads.
We have an NVME SSD Adata Legend 960 of M.2 2280 format with a volume of 1 TB, and this model is interesting because it has a two-way layout with two cache memory chips controlled by a top controller in its line, Silicon Motion ...
Overview of the capabilities of the IP-COM ProFi controller for wireless networks
In the IP-COM company's model range, a separate direction has been allocated for equipment controlled by centralized ProFi software. Today, even in small projects, it is important to be able to make friends with the switch with access points not only at the network level, but also in a visual editor, placing the devices on the floor map in order to track statistics from one window, update firmware, decommission and change devices without disrupting the network. Currently, these capabilities make ...
Zyxel NWA55AXE - outdoor Wi-Fi access point 6, which is so convenient to build bridges
Today we are considering a budget Wi-FI 6 standard access point for outdoor performance. This model is considered as a building block for building Mesh networks or as an opportunity to expand the coverage of existing Wi-Fi 6 on an area without any increased performance or range requirements, but with management through the Nebula cloud system. The NWA55AXE model implements the 2x2 antenna formula, so the maximum speed by the standards of the 802.11ac standard is low - 1200 Mbit/s in the 5 GHz ...
Review of Huawei AirEngine 8760 RX1 and AirEngine 6760R-51 external access points
Huawei has in its lineup a full range of equipment for the implementation of high-performance public Wi-Fi for places with a high density of devices and harsh operating conditions. Today we have top-end devices for outdoor installation that have an extended temperature range of operation, a dust- and moisture-proof housing, and triple radio communication with a selective mode of operation of an additional radio module.
The events of the last two years, associated with the massive transition ...
SSD Crucial P5 Plus 1TB review: testing by office workloads
This drive is interesting because it supports PCI Express 4.0 bus, has 1 GB of onboard LPDDR4 memory, has a built-in APST power saving system, a new 8-channel 6-core DM02A controller.1 and 176-layer Micron 3D TLC memory. For workloads, it also matters that the drive is protected from data loss in case of a sudden power outage at the time of recording, which is achieved by data recording algorithms, and not by adding super capacitors, as in some server models.
Micron is one of the few ...
Adata Falcon plus Goodram PX500 - testing RAID from cheap NVME drives
What happens if you take two NVME disks: one faster, the other slower, and build a simple RAID from them? Will a faster SSD be able to pull off the speed of a slower one? We will check in working office loads.
In general, if we look at hard drives from the point of view of performance, then everything is simple and clear, and even the slow "green" models at 5400 RPM do not differ much from the server ones at 10 and 15 thousand RPM, unless of course the manufacturer is clever with ...
Zyxel vs. Ubiquiti: A comparative review of entry-level Wi-Fi 6 access points
For comparative testing of Wi-Fi 6 access points, a new test stand based on Intel AX200 and iPhone was required. We tested the speed on the line of sight, through the walls, and also compared the design of three popular access points.
Every major manufacturer of Wi-Fi equipment has already presented its business solutions for the modernization of restaurants, hotels and other public places. And there is an explanation: owners of brand-new iPhones want to see how the Wi-Fi network implements ...
Zyxel XS1930-12HP review: Multi-Gigabit PoE switch as the core of a Wi-Fi 6 network
Migrating to Wi-Fi 6, do you hope that at least the cable structure will remain the same, running on the old twisted pair 2.5 GBase-T? Let's look at the example of the universal PoE switch Zyxel, how a multi-gigabit switch that supports speeds from 1 to 10 Gbit/s with a cheap cable works, what features it provides and how it is configured via the cloud.
The adoption of the Wi-Fi 6 standard raises the requirements for the cable infrastructure of the LAN: most mid-level access points already ...
Testing of SSD Adata Gammix S50 Lite 1Tb by server and workstation loads
Almost today, even budget SSDs for gaming computers can be installed in a working computer or server, and this will not entail any disadvantages compared to Pro-models, but even on the contrary-it will give advantages in speed and reliability. The response time in the SQL pattern for this model is less than 1 ms, which is typical for very expensive storage systems, and the resource and warranty are the same as for top-end branded drives.
Some time ago, SSD drives for the professional sector ...
