AT-8624 a unique combination of performance, manageability and affordability at the network edge
Allied Telesyn, the end-to-end networking solutions vendor, today announced the availability of the AT-8624, giving customers a low cost, Layer 3 Fast Ethernet switch with Layer 2/3/4+ intelligence.
Allied Telesyn’s AT-8600 series is a fully-functional, intelligent switching solution designed to provide desktop connectivity to enterprise work groups and mid-sized networks. More demanding customers in these segments will benefit from the Layer 2-4 intelligence of Allied Telesyn’s AT-8600 series, which supports multimedia applications like voice and video. The switch enables network administrators to define throughput levels for each port and control access based on the type of end user.
“The AT-8624 is designed as a cost-effective solution for today, with the ability to expand as network demands grow – at no extra cost,” explained Jason Phoon, Product Marketing Senior Manager at Allied Telesyn.
The Allied Telesyn AT-8624 is a switch that brings a high level of security, resilience, switching technology and traffic control in prioritization of packets at Layer 2. Broadcast storm protection and bandwidth limiting can be implemented at the edge of the network, where users connect and this is an ideal feature for customers needing to allocate the amount of bandwidth on a per port basis. It is also ideal for managing different applications like VoIP, web browsing, video, email and to regain control of traffic across the network. The bandwidth limiting feature provides fine granularity with the ability to define ingress limits down to 64Kbps segments and egress limits down to 1 Mbps segments. An additional benefit is that loop back ports are not required.
Offering simple configuration via the CLI (Command Line Interface) or GUI (Graphical User Interface), the AT-8624 can work with existing management systems with full SNMP support, advanced customizable trigger with an email client and full SNMP and MIB support for unmatched flexibility in monitoring and controlling the events. The trigger facility provides a powerful mechanism for automatic and timed management of the switch, by automating the execution of switch commands in response to certain events, pre-configured to collect diagnostic information after a switch reboot. A trigger is an ordered sequence of scripts to be executed when a certain event occurs and various types of triggers are supported, each activated in a different way.
The AT-8624 drives value further with features to provide full support for multimedia Layer 4 applications, a compact one rack unit (1RU) form factor, high-speed uplink modules for flexibility, IP routing for better network design, a redundant power supply option for reliability, and stacking support. Stacking provides Web and CLI based management of up to nine switches with the same effort as for one switch. The Allied Telesyn solution uses open standards interfaces as stacking links so that many switches can be stacked across different sites, which is not possible using proprietary stacking cable solutions; this also avoids the use of expensive specialized hardware with limited topologies.
All of these features come without complex management costs. The AT-8624 allows the customer to keep control of their network and their costs.
Allied Telesyn’s AT-8624T/2M intelligent, Layer 3 Fast Ethernet switch is available now throughout the region.
