Using Wired Communication between On-Premise Server and CMS

Context

Considering that CMS requires fast and reliable data from the On-Premise Server, which stores and processes data, a type of connection would be required.

Decision:

We will use Ethernet (wired communication) for the data transmission between the on-premise server and the CMS.

Status

Proposed

Consequences

  • Reliability: Wired communication, especially Ethernet, is known for its reliability. It is less prone to interference and signal loss compared to wireless communication methods.

  • Stability: Ethernet provides a stable and consistent connection, ensuring that data is transmitted reliably and with minimal latency. This stability is crucial for real-time data monitoring and analytics.

  • Bandwidth: Ethernet offers higher bandwidth compared to wireless technologies. This allows for faster data transfer rates, which is beneficial when transmitting large amounts of data to the CMS.

  • Security: Wired communication is generally considered more secure than wireless communication. The data transmitted over Ethernet is less susceptible to interception or hacking attempts.

  • Cost: Implementing wired communication may involve initial costs for setting up the infrastructure, such as Ethernet cables, switches, and routers. However, the long-term benefits in terms of reliability, stability, and security can justify this initial investment.

  • Scalability: Ethernet-based communication infrastructure is scalable, allowing for future expansion or upgrades without significant changes to the existing setup.

Options

  • Fiber Optic Communication: We could possibly consider using fiber optic cables instead of regular Ethernet cables. These cables offer faster data transfer rates and are more reliable over longer distances. They're also immune to electromagnetic interference, which could further improve the stability and reliability of our data transmission.
  • Redundant Ethernet Connections: We have also thought about applying redundant Ethernet connections between the On-Premise Server and the CMS. This means having a backup connection in case the primary one fails. It would help ensure that our data transmission remains uninterrupted, minimizing any potential downtime or disruptions.
  • Network Monitoring Tools: We have considered deploying network monitoring tools to keep an eye on our Ethernet connections. These tools can help us detect and address any issues in real-time, ensuring that our data transmission remains stable and reliable.
