D-Link launches 24-port L3 Stackable Management switch

Businesses requiring a high performance, cost-effective switch have had their needs addressed, following the introduction of the DGS-3627G 24-port Layer 3 Stackable Management switch from D-Link, the end-to-end networking solutions provider for consumer and business.

With its advanced feature set and scalability, the DGS-3627G is an ideal long-term business investment for SMEs and enterprises. The latest addition to D-Link`s popular xStack range, the DGS-3627G strengthens D-Link`s position in the market as a developer of network solutions for businesses of all sizes.

Flexibility is a key feature of the DGS-3627G switch, which is a fully managed Layer 3 switch that provides 24 SFP ports and 4 Combo 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet ports.

The DGS-3627G also provides virtual stacking functionality via D-Link SIM technology, allowing up to 32 units to be managed via a single IP address, meaning the switch can be centrally managed, saving on valuable resources.

The DGS-3627G`s 24 SFP ports means it provides a full-fibre environment for long-distance Ethernet infrastructure, which is suitable for the FTTx and MAN (Metropolitan Area Network). Ten Gigabit Ethernet open slots in the back-panel can be plugged with 10GE XFP modules for fibre uplinks or 10GE copper modules for inter-device connection. The DGS-3627G is highly scalable too, as it can be stacked with 10Gb copper modules providing up to 40Gb stacking bandwidth, or can be stacked with DGS/DXS-3300 series switches with D-Link SIM technology.

With support for IPv4/IPv6 static and dynamic routing and a plethora of advanced security and enhanced QoS features, the xStack DGS-3627G provides both performance and advanced security features often associated D-Link Switches. The inclusion of D-Link`s ZoneDefense also integrates the switch with a central NetDefend Firewall to enable Proactive Network Security, by preventing viruses from spreading through the network, thus thwarting harmful network attacks.

Karien Wood, SA Marketing Manager of D-Link, said: "D-Link has always offered business customers a wide range of solutions to meet their needs. This latest addition to the xStack range reinforces D-Link`s commitment to providing cost-effective, feature-rich and powerful networking solutions. With its scalability and robust security features, the DGS-3627G strengthens D-Link`s position in the market as a developer that caters for the business market`s every network need."
