· Dell today announced
an enhanced networking portfolio designed specifically to meet the needs of
small to medium-sized businesses, including the new X-series family of smart managed switches and an expanded N-series family
with the addition of the Dell N1500 for smaller fully managed environments.
Distributed, global workforces have given rise
to increased mobile and cloud computing. This, combined with the rise in data analytics,
has caused businesses to experience a data deluge. IT departments of all sizes
are looking to create a network infrastructure that is able to manage this new
generation of computing and workload processing but are often constrained by
limited resources. To provide small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) with a
competitive edge and the ability to grow their networks at a flexible and
affordable rate, Dell has introduced these innovative networking solutions that
combine cost effective, enterprise-level network control with consumer like
ease.
“Dell brings decades of experience delivering
enterprise-class features in technology solutions specifically designed for small
and medium-sized customers,” said Arpit Joshipura, vice president, Strategy and
Product Management, Dell Networking. “Today’s announcement is another example
of our commitment to enable customers to break free of outdated networking
paradigms.”
“Being one of the largest Dell distributors in
Germany, we are excited about the Dell X-Series launch. Dell now provides
networking products for every need and budget and SMB partners and midrange
customers will benefit from this enlargement of the portfolio. The X-Series
furthermore combines sustainable features and attractive pricing for our
partners – what a great opportunity.” Uwe Kannegießer, Director Advanced
Solutions, Ingram Micro Germany
The Dell Networking X-Series is a family of smart
web-managed 1 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) and 10GbE switches specifically designed
for SMBs that offer intuitive, enterprise-class features, as well as multiple
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.
The Dell Networking N1500 family offers fully managed
1GbE switches optimised for smaller networks. The switches utilize a
comprehensive enterprise-class Layer 2/3 feature set, common command-line
interface (CLI) for consistent management and standard 10GbE SFP+ transceivers
and cables for stacking, providing up to 200 1GbE ports in a 4-unit stack. SMBs
can deploy a secure network that is optimised for VoIP and social environments,
and prioritise network traffic for maximum efficiency.
To reassure wireless customers and partners,
Dell announced extended support for the W-series family of wireless access
points and controllers. Dell is committed
to supporting the W-series without
interruption throughout the product lifecycle.
