Dell expands SMB networking switch portfolio

Dell now has an enhanced networking portfolio designed to meet the needs of small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs). The new X-series family of smart managed switches and an expanded N-series family combine cost effective, enterprise-level network control with consumer-like ease.

The Dell Networking X-Series is a family of smart web-managed 1 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and 10GbE switches that offer intuitive, enterprise-class features, as well as flexible configurations. SMB customers can enjoy advanced network management without requiring professional IT support thanks to step-by-step wizards and customisable dashboards that make configuration, calibration and troubleshooting quick and accurate. This series is available starting in Singapore from 17 April (varies by model).

The Dell Networking N1500 family, available in the coming weeks, offers fully managed 1GbE switches optimised for smaller networks. The switches provide up to 200 1GbE ports in a four-unit stack. SMBs can deploy a secure network that is optimised for VoIP and social environments, and prioritise network traffic for maximum efficiency.

Dell has also announced extended support for the W-series family of wireless access points and controllers.
