Dell brings networking solutions for SMBs

Dell has announced an enhanced networking portfolio 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.

“We observed that SMBs (just as larger enterprises) are being affected by the increased workload rising out of the high impact trends of social, mobility, cloud and analytics. To effectively work through these workloads, such businesses require enterprise-level technology which is right sized, resource light and financially flexible,” said Manish Gupta, director & general manager, Enterprise Solutions Group, Dell India.

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. The Networking N1500 family offers fully managed 1GbE switches optimized for smaller networks. SMBs can deploy a secure network that is optimized for VoIP and social environments, and prioritize network traffic for maximum efficiency.

“Our new N-Series and X-Series networking products work efficiently and seamlessly in mid-market companies by providing enterprise-level technology optimized for their workloads,” added Gupta.

To reassure wireless customers and partners, Dell announced extended support for the W-series family of wireless access points and controllers.
