Which one for what
The clean decision guide for common Indian B2B scenarios. Pick the row that fits.
Single-floor office, 40 to 200 seats
Digisol. Standard switching and Wi-Fi on a published rupee budget, no need for advanced routing.
Multi-branch enterprise needing OSPF or BGP routing
Allied Telesis. Hardware-based Layer 3 routing on the core switch is not something Digisol’s line-up covers.
Government or PSU tender with Make in India scoring
Digisol. Manufacturing origin is a direct, documented scoring criterion in most such tenders.
Network needing automated device quarantine on threat detection
Allied Telesis. AMF-Sec responds to alerts and isolates suspect devices without manual intervention.
Fixed IT budget, straightforward wired refresh only
Digisol. Rupee pricing and local RMA keep the total cost predictable for a like-for-like swap.
