More Capabilities beyond Plug-and-play Connectivity

Today's growing businesses are both placing more demands on and relying more on their network. Companies are putting more applications and demands on their Ethernet Infrastructure. Using VoIP phones and IP cameras require more than simple plug-and-play connectivity. Additionally Internet-based applications such as Hotmail and Google Calendaring have made keeping the network up a business-critical need. However companies do not necessarily have more money or advanced training to deal with complex managed switches. NETGEAR's new ProSafe Plus Switches meet this growing need by providing easy to use visibility and limited confi guration capabilities. To provide more insight into the network behavior ProSafe Plus Switches offer traffic monitoring for users to observe traffic behavior. Additionally if there are connectivity issues these switches offer a cable diagnostic test capability that can identify and even locate problems in the cables. To optimize traffic through the switches ProSafe Plus Switches offer both port and tag-based prioritization to keep latency-sensitive traffic moving ahead of less critical packets. Also as a means of improving security or managing collision domains ProSafe Smart Switches offer VLAN technology. ProSafe Plus Switches offering these monitoring and confi guration capabilities at a slight cost premium over un anaged switches delivering great value to the end user.

Additionally furthering NETGEAR's support of the environment ProSafe Plus Switches have power-saving Green Ethernet technology. The GS108E switch comes in a sturdy metal case with a fan-less design for silent operation.
