Juniper unveils Ethernet switches for small office

BANGALORE, INDIA: Juniper Networks has announced the general availability of Juniper Networks' EX2200 Ethernet Switches, which offers a highly cost-effective, high-performance solution for supporting converged network access deployments in branch and remote offices as well as campus networks.

Featuring Junos software-based layer 2 and basic layer 3 switching capabilities, the new EX2200 line of fixed-configuration managed Ethernet switches offers a plug-and-play 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet solution that satisfies the access connectivity requirements of today's high-performance businesses at a lower price point than most competitive managed Layer 2 10/100 Ethernet enterprise access switches.

Environmentally conscious, the EX2200 switches feature low-acoustic fans, consume less than two watts per port on non-PoE models, and have a compact 10-inch depth, making them an ideal solution for small office environments where switches are frequently installed on tabletops or other open areas.

“Juniper's EX2200 delivers an exceptional level of performance and functionality at a fraction of the cost of comparable solutions,” said Bryan Miles, director-Networking and Telecommunications, Station Casinos.

“For all of our converged data, voice and video needs, we can count on the EX2200 to deliver carrier-class performance and reliability in a compact solution where space and power are at a premium. Additionally, with Junos as the single operating system, the EX2200 will help us lower our expense of adoption and reduce our total cost of ownership,” he added.
