MEC Digital — Wed, 08 May 2019 23:26:14 +0000

Ruckus Networks announced that Ruckus Cloud Wi-Fi, a cloud-managed Enterprise Wi-Fi solution is now available in the Philippines and in the remainder of the Asia Pacific region.

Ruckus Cloud Wi-Fi allows network administrators to manage multiple locations through a single web- or mobile app-based dashboard. This solution is designed to help ‘Lean IT’ staff at schools, retail, professional services, warehouses, and hotels effectively manage a multi-site network while delivering exceptional connectivity for students, guests, and customers.

Additionally, it allows organizations to lessen their total cost of ownership (TCO) compared to other solutions by matching cloud efficiency with high-performance access points (APs) that serve more users over a wider area.

The Ruckus Cloud Wi-Fi solution offers short videos to show its new features. It also has a network to auto-update and remain secure, informing them through text messages and push notifications through a mobile app of any outages.

Designed to be simple and scalable, Ruckus Cloud Wi-Fi allows businesses of all sizes to deploy and remotely oversee Wi-Fi networks across multiple sites. With just a single interface to create new Wi-Fi networks, add access points, and manage network performance and activity, the solution lets administrators manage from anywhere via a simple and intuitive, web-based interface or the Ruckus Cloud mobile app.

“As organizations in the Asia Pacific region undergo digital transformation, reliable and high-performance Wi-Fi is a must to accelerate growth and improve operational efficiencies,” said Kho Teck Meng, regional sales director, Asean, for Ruckus Networks. “By using the same enterprise-grade technology present in all of our installations, customers now have access to a combination of simplicity and performance that wasn’t previously available. We look forward to helping our partners across the region drive greater value for their customers with a solution that is easy to deploy and manage,” added Meng.

The solution is the first foundational service of the many software-as-service offerings by Ruckus Network.

5 Main Reasons To Embrace Cloud Computing In Your Enterprise

MEC Digital — Wed, 24 Apr 2019 01:57:31 +0000

Digital Transformation trends are empowering organizations of all sizes to improve and innovate their businesses. Some of these trends are completely changing the game including Cloud Computing.

Cloud Computing is the practice of storing, managing, and processing data using a network of remote servers that are hosted on the Internet. Cloud computing allows organizations to access their information and data virtually anytime, anywhere.

A recent survey done by Logic Monitor suggests that 83% of Enterprise Workloads will be in the cloud by 2020. On-premise workloads are predicted to shrink from 37% today to 27% of all workloads by 2020.

What could be the reasons why enterprises are leaning on to the cloud? In this article, we will help you gain a better understanding of the cloud and its potential benefits to your organization.

1.) Low Cost

Being virtually available, enterprises (especially SMEs and start-ups) can save substantial capital and operational costs through a reduction in spending on equipment, infrastructure, maintenance, and software.

2.) Accessibility

The cloud allows access to information and data through wireless devices, whenever and wherever, as long as you’re connected to the Internet thus increasing the organizations’ agility.

3.) Scalability

Organizations can easily scale up or scale down operations together with the storage needs to suit variations based on the business’ demands. Most cloud service providers can increase or decrease their packages within minutes as well.

4.) Improved Collaboration

A cloud computing model can give your organization the ability to communicate and share with ease. Employees can easily share data and collaborate to complete tasks even from different locations. It also allows multiple users to share and work on data at the same time.

5.) Business Continuity

In the event of a disaster, be it natural or technical, organizations must be confident that their data are protected. Thanks to the cloud’s backup mechanism, the data will always be available and it can be restored in a timely manner as long as users have an Internet connection.

The cloud presents limitless benefits and opportunities for enterprises. However, migrating to the cloud requires a well-planned strategy and a future-proof scalable and secure network infrastructure. At MEC, we offer products and solutions that support and protect organizations of any size as they transition to the cloud.

ICTip #6: Twister Pair Cables – Cat 5e vs. Cat 6

MEC Networks Corporation — Thu, 08 Jun 2017 02:00:56 +0000

Cat 5e (Category 5 Enhanced) and Cat 6 (Category 6) are currently the most popular types of twisted pair cables today. Both are typically unshielded and use copper wires. Cat 6 cables cost 20-30% more than Cat 5e cables, but with higher bandwidth, faster speed, and less interference, the Cat 6 cable may stand out to some customers.
