H3C Campus Solution
Solution Architecture
Based on analysis of user numbers, customer requirements, network bandwidth and other metrics, H3C offers a SDN and customized campus network solution – AD-Campus (Application-Driven Campus) Solution. There are three stacking leaf switches deployed separately in three different buildings. Each group links to multiple stacking access switches deployed in different floors which are used for terminals and APs (access point). Main and backup server are in building 1 and 2 respectively, which run AD-Campus controller and other software. With the help of H3C firewall and 3rd party firewall and load balance, server farm and internet will be easy and secure to access.
Solution Benefits
Automation – Network deployment, service provisioning, network expansion and fault device replacement are all automatically implemented by controller with several clicks, which considerably reduce the complexity and save workload while improving efficiency.
Consistent Experience – All the officers in three different places can roam seamlessly with same policy and authority. Even there are department adjustment or officer station movement, it doesn’t have to reassign IP address and segment as before.
Compatibility – AD-Campus solution is compatible with 3rd party wireless network and LDAP server, firewall and load balance to give huge saving on investment. Related wireless network, authentication and security policy are running well with the network.
High Availability – Cold standby, failure bypass and DHCP failover are used in the network to give entire assurance of reliability. When there is failure connecting to authentication server, it is able to lead new access users to critical VxLAN with limited authority to make the network still available.
