Bangkok--Sep 23--Core & Peak
Allied Telesyn, the leading IP-based networking solutions vendor,
today announced the AT-9400 series Gigabit Ethernet and the AT-8500 series
Fast Ethernet Layer 2+ stackable managed switches. These form the latest
additions to its comprehensive range of switching solutions. This family of
switches is targeted at a growing market segment of Layer 2+ where products
with more features than simple Layer 2 are needed, but budgets do not allow
for Layer 3 equipment.
With LAN aggregation and successful migration of core layers to
Gigabit Ethernet, many Network Managers are demanding easy to manage, cost
effective intelligent switches at the LAN edge. The AT-9400 and AT-8500
series are designed to address these needs with the best compromise between
features, performance and value.
Network Managers can configure the AT-9400 and AT-8500 switches to
trigger multiple network decisions such as access control list and DoS
(Denial of Service) attack protection, or set rate limiting and QoS (Quality
of Service) priorities to curb excessive bandwidth usage. The security
features that are part of the L2-L4 intelligence of this switch are
particularly useful in the prevention of DoS attacks that are currently on
Network Managers’ list of Top 10 priorities. The AT-9400 and AT-8500 can be
programmed against six well-known DoS attacks to join firewall and anti-virus
programmes in the Network Manager’s arsenal of network protection. With its
advanced security features, Allied Telesyn’s AT-9400 and AT-8500 switches
offer cost effective port security for high risk areas such as visitor
meeting rooms where possible security loop-holes may exist.
The AT-9400 have a switching capacity of 48Gbps and come with 22
Gigabit Ethernet ports, 2 active SFP/GBIC ports and 2 standby 10/100/1000TX
ports. The AT-8500 come with various configurations of 10/100TX or FX ports
with GBIC or SFP and expansion slots and have a switching capacity of 8.8Gbps.
These alleviate bottlenecks by boosting bandwidth performance, allowing for
optimising network resources and better management of IT expenditure. This
gives Network Managers the best of both worlds — better control and security
over their network without the high costs that CFOs frown upon.
“Network Managers of cost and security conscious government,
financial, education institutions or enterprises and multi-tenant units will
select the Allied Telesyn AT-9400 for its feature-rich value packed one RU
form factor. Combined with Allied Telesyn’s Enhanced StackingTM technology
that allows up to 24 switches in different locations to be virtually stacked,
quickly managed and re-configured through one single IP address, this
intelligent switch family will definitely be a boon to Network Managers” said
Jason Phoon, Allied Telesyn’s Senior Manager for Product Marketing.
The L2+ managed switches are available in the following options:
