MUMBAI: Responsive to the evolving needs of small and medium businesses, D-Link’s latest series of gigabit and Fast Ethernet Web Smart III Switches offers the opportunity to construct a secure and productive network environment at an affordable price.
Web Smart Switches include a comprehensive set of management features paired with a minimally complex user interface for straightforward configuration, said a press release.
Bridging the gap between unmanaged and managed switches, Web Smart Switches provide novice and expert administrators alike with a wide array of options for keeping their network running securely and efficiently. The included web management interface and SmartConsole utility provides an intuitive system for administrators to manage a mid-sized network that might otherwise present a challenge.
Web Smart Switches strengthen security through the use of access control lists (ACL), ensuring that sensitive network resources are restricted only to authorized users. Web Smart Switches detect and block intruders that attempt to sniff data or send fake ARP packets that could disrupt network traffic. This defense mechanism allows the switch to remain operable even while under attack. These switches are also robust enough to screen rogue DHCP server packets to prevent unauthorized IP assignments.
Web Smart Switches streamline bandwidth using Quality of Service (QoS) optimizations to shape and manage traffic. Asymmetric VLAN support allows these switches to direct unlike or unequal bandwidth across different VLANs. Through this segmentation, client-server traffic flows can be optimized, and shared resources effectively controlled. The Auto Voice VLAN function automatically identifies voice traffic and maintains optimal audio quality for
VOIP calls.
Business owner’s conscious of rising energy costs and environmental concerns will appreciate the green features found in D-Link switches. All Web Smart Switches feature a fan-less or smart fan design which reduces power consumption while allowing the switch to operate almost silently. Single LEDs per port provide status at a glance and help to save electricity.
"The D-Link Web Smart Switch series is ideal for SMBs seeking enterprise level functionality. Its broad management options, advanced security features and VLAN support are just a few of the features that make Web Smart Switches an excellent choice for small and medium businesses interested in managing their network effectively and inexpensively" said Mr. Raj Jadhav, VP - Solution Consulting, Tech Support & IT, D-Link (India) Ltd.
