All-in-One PoE Switch with integrated Omada controller and Loadbalancer? -> lean + real failover
Hello,
because a lot of TP-Link installations actually just consist of a few components, wouldnt it make sense to offer a all in one solution, so that the number of devices goes down?
Essentially, a PoE switch that incorporates L3 routing and Omada functionality to power EAP APs and PoE desk-switches.
Technically that shouldnt be an issue at all, and it surely would reduce the wattage needed for such an installation, because fewer devices means less power demand.
And with a 16+ port switch 10 EAPs and almost 50 wired clients shouldnt be an issue at all. With 24 or 48 ports you could already drive an bigger office and from that point on other means of connection become more relevant.
Im asking because I would like to get my network-installation as lean as possible and reduce the wattage, and the loadbalancer and omada-controller are pulling quite some power and are not nice to put into a rack due to the form factor.
And the cool thing about having everything in one device is, that you could enable real failover capabilities (two wires to every EAP/access switch). That might also be very intriguing.
