English

Small Form Plugables (SFP) are standard components in most enterprise and data center deployments today. Their flexibility allows a device such as a switch to be used for multiple application scenarios. From common RJ45 connectors for use in office environments, to short-haul optics for high data throughput in data centers, to long-haul single mode fiber optics for connecting remote sites, anything is possible. In the event of a failure, failures are quick and easy to fix, thanks to hot-swap functionality, without the need to reboot or shutdown the system. Of course, SFP's can be purchased from the same manufacturer when buying the associated equipment. This has both advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, the homogeneous procurement ensures compatibility with the respective device, but the customer must be aware that SFP's are often the same hardware in their basic form except for the connection type. Only with the installation of the corresponding firmware the specific functionality is determined. For this reason, the supply of compatible SFP's is not a disadvantage from a technical point of view, but it makes sense from an economic point of view, since you avoid the manufacturer's "name tax".

What are the advantages of compatible SFP?

Service

The most significant advantage of compatible SFP's is the ability to obtain all required SFP's from one source. Instead of having to keep records of which SFP's were purchased from which manufacturer and which processes come into play in the event of problems or failure, there is only one contact person. This not only speeds up and simplifies the necessary measures in the event of a problem, but usually also the entire RMA process. The SFP offering of the major manufacturers represents only a small share of their overall business and is treated accordingly. Compatible SFP providers are multi-vendor specialists who can respond faster and more flexibly to any concerns. This means that all questions can be directed to one specialist instead of having to deal with multiple forums, helpdesks or support tickets.


Individualization

The SPFs of the hardware giants are tailored to the devices and operating systems (OS) of the same manufacturer and usually cannot be changed. However, if you use a non-proprietary or proprietary OS, you also need SFPs that can communicate optimally with it. Asking a large manufacturer for special solutions is usually not very effective. Either changes to the standard version are subject to horrendous costs or are simply rejected as incompatible. In this case, the individualization options of compatible SFPs allow the devices to be adapted precisely to the customer's own deployment.


Price & Availability

Due to their wide use and large number of variants, SFPs can quickly account for a significant proportion of the capital expenditure (CapEx) in a network transformation. In addition, there is the tense supply situation on the semiconductor market, which makes the supply of corresponding SFP's even more difficult. When equipping with compatible devices, up to 40% of the list position can easily be saved compared to the network hardware supplier and all devices can be purchased from one source. This allows SFP's to be procured free of the switch supplier's delivery terms. The resources freed up in this way, both in capital and time, can then be used to optimize current projects. Also, higher system and integration performance can be achieved with less CapEx expenditure.

Individuelle Codierung

SFP-Assort

Die Kompatibilität von SFP ist in der Regel immer vom Betriebssystem des Gerätes abhängig. Wenn man aber ein Third Party OS oder proprietäre Versionen eines Hersteller OS nutzt kann die allgemein gültige Kompatibilitätsmatrix oftmals nicht mehr angewendet werden. In diesem Falle lässt sich optimale Funktion nur durch eine angepasste Firmware auf den SFP selbst sicherstellen.

Individualized SFP

In most cases, IT equipment is invisible to the user. Optical aspects rarely play a role in the design of the devices.

However, a disadvantage of this way of thinking is that the identification of hardware is usually only possible via long and difficult to find serial numbers. With small devices such as SFP's, the space on the device for the necessary information is also extremely limited.

With the possibility of having individual information as a unique and easily recognizable identifier on the devices, the affiliation is easy to determine. It can be determined at a glance where the device originated. In the event of a failure, this makes it easy to immediately identify the origin and who is responsible for troubleshooting or replacement. Whether you simply have your inventory number attached or would like to have a completely custom label with graphics, we can personalize your SFP's with a wide variety of prints.
