PIOLINK has launched ‘TiFRONT Cloud Switch (‘Cloud Switch’ hereunder)’ that centrally manage and control access switches from the cloud. The advantage of the cloud switch is to reduce operating burden to the customers by providing switch management as service. 

 

PIOLINK has researched for a long time to apply cloud computing, software defined networking and a like technology to maximize network infrastructure management efficiency, and announced that they have applied it on the access switch as the first model that is essential to network. Furthermore, PIOLINK announced it is a new concept of cloud business models to manage internal network infrastructures whereas it is a legacy cloud service (IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS) depended on data center.

 

Generally building switches and a management took a lot of times and costs due to many resource allocations that support all over the countries. However, if there is one central administrator on the cloud switch, it can quickly and conveniently provide central service overall management like installation, operation, and maintenance under TiController on the cloud. 

 

A central administrator stored essential configuration information, security policies, and alike in advance in the cloud. Later when the switch is connected to internet and website, configuration information is automatically deployed and works immediately. There is no more cumbersome to enter complicated console commands for each switch, and switch replacement and scalability are also simple. In addition, whenever and wherever it reduces operating burden by remote control and monitors issues all the time such as troubles, performance degradation, security threats, and so on.  

 

Therefore, customers do not have to install a management server separately since there is no difficulty even without professional knowledge about the network management. The cloud switch is suitable for any sizes of sites such as small business with limited IT resources, a large scale of network operating companies distributed all over the country, and IT organizations that need to manage a large number of customer sites. 

 

PIOLINK announced to support both private and public cloud service with launching new product. 

 

Youngcheol Cho said, CEO in PIOLINK, “Now it is the time to change the network purchasing and management paradigm”, and emphasized “Rather than be owned and managed directly, it would receive a lease business to increase efficiency and value in use. It will be able to focus more on increasing companies’ productivity and a business value with a reasonable cost to solve operations and maintenance.” He also added “PIOLINK will continue to keep its efforts to improve overall IT infrastructure and user experience on cloud computing technologies with the research and business development about data center optimization and efficiency.”
