Gigabit Stackable Smart Switches Enable Businesses
to Grow with Ease
Growing companies rely on their network to provide
the foundation for essential business applications:
mission-critical data applications, security, Voice
over IP (VoIP), video-conferencing and much more. Businesses
that are growing rapidly want full-featured network
switches that can accommodate growth, support the full
range of network applications and secure the network
without the overhead and complexity of fully-managed
switches. The ProSafe Gigabit Stackable Smart Switch
family delivers the scalability, flexibility, reliability,
and performance growing small and medium-sized businesses
need in an affordable and easy-to-manage package.
A first in the industry, each ProSafe Gigabit Stackable
Smart Switch comes with 24 or 48 10/100/1000 Mbps ports
with four shared SFP ports that provide high performance
Fibre connections for bandwidth intensive applications
like ERP and large file transfers. In addition, two
dedicated ports on the rear of the switch provide a
20 Gbps, dual-ring, highly redundant stacking bus that
accommodates growth and offers the highest level of
resiliency, thus allowing you to stack up to six switches
or 288 10/100/1000 Mbps ports – and easily manage them
all with a single IP address. Finally, these switches
come with a complete suite of advanced features for
more robust security, higher quality of service and
high availability. This switch is equipped with highly
advanced features such as access control lists (ACL),
802.1x port authentication, enhanced QoS, rate limiting
and IGMP snooping among others to provide a small and
mediumsized business with a network that is geared for
growth while providing scalability and reliability.
An intuitive, Web-browser interface provides simple
yet comprehensive management, making it a snap to fully
realize the potential of the rich feature-set offered
by these switches. Why buy fullymanaged stackable network
switches designed and priced for the enterprise? NETGEAR
ProSafe Gigabit Stackable Smart Switches are designed
for small and medium-sized growing businesses.
Scalability and High Availability
Each ProSafe Gigabit Stackable Smart Switch comes
with 2 dedicated high-speed stacking ports on the rear
of the switch providing 20 Gbps of bandwidth. Stack
as many as six switches as you grow, and yet maintain
high-speed connectivity across the stack with stacking
cables. This stacking technology also provides several
high-availability features to ensure business continuity:
- Resiliency: Due to redundant stacking port connections,
there is an automatic fail-over in case any switch
in the stack fails, with rapid reconfiguration,
thus preventing network downtime.
- Hot-swappable: All switches in the stack are
hot-swappable, and can be integrated or removed
without disrupting the network.
Advanced Security
These switches also provide advanced features that
provide more robust security to SMBs. These include:
- 802.1x for authentication
- ACL filtering to permit or deny traffic based
on MAC addresses
Advanced Quality of Service (QoS)
Priority queuing ensures high-priority traffic gets
delivered efficiently, even during congestion from high
traffic bursts. Companies implementing network telephony
or video conferencing, for example, need to be able
to prioritize such voice and video traffic and other
real-time applications over less latency-sensitive traffic
to ensure reliability and quality. The ability to prioritize
traffic ensures quality of latency-sensitive services
and applications despite increasing traffic loads. The
ProSafe Gigabit Stackable Smart Switches provide an
extensive set of QoS features:
- 802.1p based prioritization
- Layer 3-based (DSCP, TOS) prioritization
- Rate-limiting
- TCP/UDP-based prioritization
'Smart' Management features
Manage all ProSafe Gigabit Stackable Smart Switches
as though they are one unit from an easy-to-use Web
console that can be used to configure all features,
as well as monitor and trouble-shoot. These switches
also have SNMP (v1, 2 and 3) to collect and track data
to monitor the network health, as well as manage devices,
and more easily enforce critical IT controls and policies.
SNMP v2c is most commonly deployed, as it provides better
reporting capabilities than SNMP v1. Companies interested
in more robust security may opt for SNMP v3, which provides
data encryption.
All ProSafe Gigabit Stackable Smart Switches provide
world-class reliability with a NETGEAR Lifetime Warranty
and optional ProSupport Maintenance Packages. These
switches are optimized for ProSafe Network Management
Software (NMS100) and works with other SNMP-based management
software.
