NEW DELHI: Allied Telesyn, the global end-to-end networking solutions vendor, has announced the availability of the AT-9408LC/SPL2 Fiber Gigabit managed switch, which is ideal for traditional enterprise LANs, defence industries and financial institutions that
require Gigabit, advanced security and fiber connection for fiber-to-the-desktop networks.
The AT-9408LC/SP comes with a compact flash card slot, which is used to store logs, update firmware or patch, store configuration files and to support script files.
More intelligent than simple Layer 2 switches, the cost-effective AT-9408LC/SP offers advanced attack detection and suppression capabilities for increased security and advanced Quality of Service (QoS) to support converged applications.
The AT-9408LC/SP is an advanced Layer 2 managed Gigabit switch for the access edge that brings enhanced security to Gigabit networks. Many network administrators demand easy to manage, cost effective, intelligent switches at the LAN edge and the AT-9408LC/SP switch answers such demands, with the optimal balance of features, performance and value.
To address the heightened concern of network attacks in the form of Denial of Services (DoS), Allied Telesyn now makes security features its primary focus. A DoS attack is a network infrastructure attack that can cripple the network by flooding it with useless traffic and is targeted towards critical network equipment such as routers, switches and the firewall.
Assisted by the L2-L4 intelligence, network administrators can deploy the AT-9408LC/SP to complement WAN firewalls and PC anti-virus protections to fortify the network against malicious attacks. The AT-9408LC/SP come pre-programmed to detect six well-known DoS attacks and more attack protection can be defined by adding additional profiles to the access control list. Benefits of DoS attack protection includes maximum network uptime by suppression of DoS traffic and decreased IT support costs due to reduced costs from compromises from worm/virus attacks.
The security policy of AT-9408LC/SP protects the integrity of network and data as well as ensuring network uptime for productivity. Coupled with security features such as 802.1x (Port-based Network Access Control) and Radius/TACACS+, the AT-9408LC/SP provides Tiered Security on each port.
Network administrators can configure the AT-9408LC/SP to control bandwidth-wasting traffic, such as music streaming to desktops by dynamically lowering the priority and limiting bandwidth to a trickle. Such features benefit metropolitan providers by enabling them to charge a fee to provision different bandwidth and QoS priorities as value-added services for customers.
The Allied Telesyn AT-9408LC/SP is available at all Allied Telesyn’s distributors and resellers. ( www.alliedtelesyn.sg/en-sg/corpinfo/reseller.asp)
