NETGEAR Delivers Higher Business Network Performance with New ProSafe® Smart Switch
“We’ve been working with the ProSafe GS110TP for the past couple months and the
configuration and network management have been extremely intuitive and
straightforward,” said Andrew Roper of Virginia-based technology integrator,
BCS Voice and Data Solutions. “The ProSafe GS110TP is able to monitor VOIP, IP
surveillance, and our normal and growing data usage patterns. It is also
remarkably versatile and just so much more cost-efficient than using managed
switch solutions. Plus, thanks to the compact size and low noise level, we
hardly notice it’s in our office.”
The new NETGEAR ProSafe Smart Switch is for businesses that want to easily
deploy VOIP, IP surveillance, or video conferencing and efficiently manage all
IP devices such as wireless access points, IP phones and IP cameras on the
network. It prioritises voice and video traffic and other real-time
applications over less latency-sensitive traffic, ensuring superior reliability
and quality. And it enables businesses to extend the intelligence of their
network to connect high speed servers or power users from any location.
“This latest addition to the ProSafe line offers our partners a high level of flexibility when designing networks that require support for remote POE powered devices such as IP surveillance cameras or IP VoIP deployments. Having SFP ports built in removes the need for third party media converters at the end of fibre runs, which are often a source of network failure,” said Ryan Parker, managing director, Australia and New Zealand.
Energy efficient and
a “Whisper-Quiet” design
The ProSafe GS110TP smart switch includes eight dedicated PoE-capable copper
ports plus two additional fibre SFP ports for uplinks designed to prioritise,
queue and maximise busy traffic on a business network.
In addition, the smart switch offers useful PoE power management features to
help control and monitor power resources. It has a timer that can help turn off
the PoE ports during certain times of the day so that business networks can be
more secure. In addition, it increases the energy efficiency of the networks as
the switch can prioritise the power usage so that specified ports are always
guaranteed to get the power first if total power required exceeds the total
power budget. And it assigns PoE ports dynamically depending on the actual
power need of the individual network devices so no calculation is necessary.
Meanwhile, with a fanless design and compact form factor, the ProSafe GS110TP
offers quiet operation and is suitable for deployments in any type of
environment, especially ones which are sensitive to noise.
“Web-managed switches have been highly successful over the past two years, as
they balance the need for advanced features with the necessity of keeping
expenditures in check,” said Matthias Machowinski, Directing Analyst,
Enterprise Voice and Data for Infonetics Research, Inc. “NETGEAR’s latest
introduction rounds out their smart switch portfolio by extending the smart
switch value proposition down to a PoE model.”
The NETGEAR ProSafe 8-port Gigabit PoE Smart Switch will be available locally from the end of August, 2010 for AU$649.00 SRP, from leading direct marketers, e-commerce sites, and value-added resellers. All NETGEAR ProSafe products, including the ProSafe GS110TP, are backed by a lifetime warranty, 24/7 technical support and optional ProSupport™ Maintenance Packages.
