Take control of your local area network to
streamline performance, protect your data and
reduce expensive downtime. Whilst an unmanaged
switch is fine for connecting a few PCs and
laptops in a home environment, it is not
appropriate for use in a company network with many
PCs and servers. For these environments a managed
switch is essential to give the required levels of
control, network performance, security and
reliability. Modern managed switches can provide
all these functions using standard techniques such
as VLANs, Port Trunking, security, prioritization,
filtering and SNMP network management.
