More Capabilities beyond Plug-and-play Connectivity
Today’s growing businesses demand and rely more on their network to carry out mission-
critical business activities. Companies are putting more network traffic and applications on
their Ethernet infrastructure. For example, the increasing deployments of VoIP phones and IP
cameras require more than simple plug-and-play connectivity. It needs the network intelligence
to separate the voice and video traffic from data, and prioritize them accordingly. 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 fundamental network features that will
help optimize the performance of business networks. ProSafe Plus Switches also offer traffic
monitoring for users to observe traffic behavior. If there are connectivity issues, these switches
can identify and even locate connection problems via cable diagnostic test. 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, ProSafe Plus Switches offer
port and 802.1Q-based VLAN as a means of improving security and network performance.
ProSafe Plus Switches are an upgrade from the plug-and-play Unmanaged Switch, delivering
great value for empowering your network, delivering great value to the end user.
