Allied Telesis, a global provider of secure IP/Ethernet switching solutions and an industry leader in the deployment of IP Triple Play networks, announces the expansion of the Allied Telesis x510 Series of stackable Gigabit switches, which includes a full range of security and resiliency features, coupled with easy management.
Two new Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) models, the AT-x510-28GPX and AT-x510-52GPX, each deliver enough PoE+ to support the requirements of enterprise networks, including retail, government, education and healthcare.
With a choice of 24- or 48-Gigabit ports, and 10 Gigabit uplink ports, both PoE+ models can provide up to 370 Watts of power. PoE+ supplies up to 30 Watts per port, to support high-powered devices such as Pan/Tilt/Zoom video surveillance cameras and other PoE-powered devices such as Wireless Access Points and IP phones. PoE eliminates the need for power rewiring when moving or installing powered devices, and minimizes the clutter of separate power supplies and adapters, for a more efficient and cost-effective work environment.
The x510 Series supports Allied Telesis Virtual Chassis Stacking (VCStack™) of up to four units with 40Gbps stacking bandwidth. VCStack provides a resilient network solution with no single point of failure for maximum uptime, supporting critical applications with uninterrupted service. The x510 Series also supports VCStack LD (Long Distance), which enables stacks to be created over long-distance fiber links, making them the perfect choice for distributed network environments.
According to [ Sabbahuddin Khan, Regional Manager], Allied Telesis, “Another great advantage of the x510 Series is its upgradability from Layer 2+/basic Layer 3 functionality to full Layer 3. Customers can either purchase the product with the full Layer 3 premium license, or upgrade their devices in the future as their business and network requirements grow. This ability to increase the capability of existing products significantly increases ROI.”
“Allied Telesis is pleased to expand our portfolio of PoE switches with the AT-x510-28GPX and AT-x510-52GPX, further empowering today’s networks and supporting tomorrow’s business growth,” he commented.
