Allied Telesis introduces the new x310 Series of Fast Ethernet/Power
over Ethernet Plus (PoE+)/Copper stackable access switches. Allied Telesis is a
global provider of secure IP/Ethernet switching solutions and an industry
leader in the deployment of IP Triple Play networks.
Ideal for applications at the edge of enterprise networks such as IP
video surveillance, building management integration, office connectivity, and
IP telephony, Allied Telesis’ x310 Series offers a high-performing and scalable
access solution for modern-day IP networks. The x310 Series is perfect for
demanding applications, offering a choice of 24-port and 48-port 10/100T
versions with Gigabit uplinks, PoE+, and the ability to stack up to four units.
The x310 Series combines innovative Allied Telesis Virtual Chassis
Stacking (VCStack) to simplify management and add scalability for high
port-density installations with the option of PoE+ to power end-points such as
VoIP phones and IP cameras.
The x310 Series also supports Allied Telesis Management Framework (AMF),
a technology that helps IT administrators reduce their daily workload by
automating many common management tasks such as replacing failed units,
modifying configurations, upgrading firmware, or extending the network. AMF
provides IT administrators with a unified network management console and
zero-touch device installation and recovery, saving substantial time and money especially
in applications deploying large numbers of access switches.
According to Seiichiro Sato, Allied Telesis
director of Global Product Marketing, the x310 Series provides another flexible
option for network access connectivity, and is the perfect choice for IP
surveillance or high-density resilient wiring closet applications where
reliability and simplified management are essential.
