  • Announces the availability of new 10GE Managed Switch switch -
  • Introduces solutions that enable businesses to accelerate their data centers to enterprise-class speed, with far less cost and complexity than conventional enterprise vendors-

NETGEAR®, Inc. (NASDAQGM: NTGR), a global networking company that delivers innovative products to consumers, businesses and service providers, today announces the enhancement of its business product portfolio with a new offering that reinforce NETGEAR’s commitment to providing smart IT solutions for midsize enterprise customers, with the availability of the ProSafe® 24-port 10 GE Managed L2+ Switch (XSM7224S), a 10 Gbps switch that enables businesses to accelerate their data centers to enterprise-class speed, with far less cost and complexity than traditional enterprise vendors.

NETGEAR managed switches are designed for businesses who require enterprise-class performance at a traditional midmarket price. The XSM family can be used as a top of server rack switch, giving a significant improvement in application performance and server response, or as a high performance core switch with layer 3 and 4 capabilities for mid-sized enterprises. NETGEAR’s included ProSafe® Network Management System (NMS200) gives customers a single, simple interface to discover, configure, monitor and manage all NETGEAR Layer 2 and Layer 3 switches.

Gartner analyst Jim Browning commented, “The biggest challenge midsize businesses have always faced is that they need to deliver IT services with a small staff and limited IT budgets that never grow in proportion to the demands of the business. Post recession, there is a new economic discipline when evaluating IT solutions in the midmarket. While there is no question about whether IT drives value to midsize businesses, there is a question about whether the costs associated with the benefits are reasonable. Midsize businesses are now demanding IT solutions that are designed with resource constraints in mind, have flexible sourcing and deployment options, and are easy and affordable to support post-sale.”

“Customers are demanding Smart IT as a result of an increased focus on costs in the global economic recovery,” said Atul Jain, Country Manager (India), NETGEAR. “Today’s announcements further illustrate NETGEAR’s commitment to delivering reliable, affordable, and simple solutions for midmarket business customers.”

Pricing and Availability :
The ProSafe 24-port 10GE Managed L2+ Switch (XSM7224S) has a list price of Rs. 6.6 Lacs and will be available through NETGEAR authorized distributors in the Indian market.
