SWITCHES
SWITCHES
Wired networks offer quick communication channels between
users, computers and network devices through switch connection
withinlocal area network. Products under this category include
chassis,core, edge, secure switches, managed, Web Smart and
unmanaged switches, transceivers, converters and adapters.
Unmanaged
- Si mp lest way to build a network and let it run itself
- Plug-and-play connectivity for small businesses
- Ideal for small networks that are sharing resources
- Green Ethernet
Smart
- Many of the benefits of managed, as outlined below,
but without the complexity or cost
- Ease of configuration through web-management
- Ideal for users wishing to build small to medium
size networks but who don’t need the advanced
features necessary for corporate deployments
Managed
- Allows administrators to monitor traffic across the
network, introduce redundancy and control access
- Found in networks with numerous users and
applications, where performance and reliability must
be maximized and security enforced
- Ideal for large sites where server farms are deployed,
with hundreds of users sharing multiple printers and
applications and routinely using wireless access and
video-conferencing, such as in corporate headquarters
- Includes D-Link’s industry leading selection of
xStack switches
Unified Wireless
- Managed switches which offer flexible deployment,
one single device can manage both wired and wireless
access traffic – unified switch = wireless controller +
LAN switch
- Feature-rich centralized management for wireless
Access Points (AP) and clients, including security policy
and RF parameters
- Enables seamless wireless roaming without the need
for cursor re-authentication: necessary in particular for
Voice-over-WLAN (VoWLAN) applications
- Compared to previous generation wireless solutions
(mobile controller), unified switching platforms offer
a strong depth of features including incomplete wired
switching functions and enough physical connections
to be located at the ‘edge’ of the network
xStack
- High port-density Layer 3 stackable switches
- Combine the ultimate performance with fault tolerance,
security, management functions with flexibility and
ease-of-use
- Equipped with 2 stacking ports providing 20Gbps full
duplex bandwidth
- Provides the 10G uplinks for transmission at 10 times
the speed of a Gigabit port
- Flexible and Scalable - Whether you need to bring
Gigabit or just conventional 10/100Mbps speed to your
organization's desktops, D-Link xStack has the right
solution with right port types, port densities and uplinks
to match your requirements
