The promotion is also designed to help out D-Link’s partners in the sales process as the company works on its strategy to expand its product portfolio to cater to the specific needs of business users.
“In a fiercely competitive market, network performance is key,” said Domenic Torre, Managing Director D-Link ANZ. “Businesses are demanding faster and more professional switching products, but at aggressive price points. xStack ticks all these boxes. Our partners now have the products that will help them to effectively address the needs of enterprises.”
The new xStack provide proactive network security management, end-to-end traffic control and 10 Gigabit performance.
Single IP Management functionality, included on all xStack products, enables full management control of up to 32 switches via one IP address. D-Link has also developed enterprise level services and support to strengthen the xStack portfolio.
The new offerings round out the xStack portfolio to five families of switches. The D DES-3500 series are Layer 2 managed switches with 24 to 48 10/100 ports and two combo 1000Base-T/SFP ports.
The DES-3800 family includes Layer 3 switches from 24 to 48 10/100Mbps ports and 4 Gigabit ports. Power over Ethernet is a feature on the DES-3828P.
For the big end of town, the DES-6500 is a core Layer 3 chassis-based Gigabit switch designed for performance and flexibility, easy management and cost-effective deployment for the enterprise or in and educational institutions.
A 10 Gigabit, Layer 3 switch, the xStack DGS-3300 family, is equipped with two stacking ports providing up to 40Gbps bandwidth if deployed in a ring stacking architecture. DGS-3300 products can also be used in a star stacking architecture for more critical environments. The switches are stacked together through high-speed stacking cables, allowing the entire stack to operate as a single high-performance entity.
Finally, the DXS -3300 family features full Gigabit switches with 10 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and rich Layer 3 management functions. Some models feature 10GE uplinks for transmission at 10 times the speed of a Gigabit port.
