NETGEAR Presents New Configurable Switches

The success of building a great network of linked computers lies in the hardware you use. Whether you’re referring to the computers, routers, cables or switches, everything contributes to the quality of your network. And because NETGEAR has recently launched a new series of configurable switches for business use, how about we check them out a bit and see what’s what? Especially since this fresh ProSafe Plus Switch family is said to even allow non-technical users to monitor and configure their networks like the best of them.

“Businesses are relying more heavily on their networks as they deploy more Ethernet-based technologies such as VoIP, as well as Internet-based applications for email, calendaring and collaboration,” said Maggie Wu, NETGEAR’s product line manager for SMB Switching Products. “To support this trend, NETGEAR has created this simple yet powerful network switch for businesses. The ProSafe Plus Switch, as an upgrade from the simple connectivity of an unmanaged switch, offers our customers essential network features such as enhanced security, troubleshooting, traffic prioritization, segmentation and monitoring, all at an affordable price.”

The ProSafe Plus Switches sport easy-to-use configuration tools, QoS features, VLAN support as well as other features of a more greenish nature such as auto power-down or auto cable length detection. Seeing how every SMB out there is searching to save even the smallest amount of money, this could definitely be a winning series of devices. Pricing starts from 70 USD to as much as 110 USD depending on what device you want from the ProSafe Plus series.

I’ll leave you now with Matthias Machowinski, directing analyst of enterprise voice and data at Infonetics Research, an international market research and consulting firm specializing in data networking and telecom, “With many business users running multiple, real-time applications on their networks, they need to be able to segment and prioritize traffic to ensure consistent performance. […] NETGEAR’s new line of ProSafe Plus Switches gives SMBs greater control over their networks at only a modest premium over unmanaged switches, thereby providing a good balance between features and price.”
