New stackable switches from ProCurve provide businesses with reliable, cost-effective performance

ProCurve Switch 2810 Series

Available in popular 24- and 48-port stackable configurations, the ProCurve Switch 2810 Series is a Layer 2 Gigabit managed switch offering high-performance and secure 10/100/1000 connectivity, even in smaller wiring closets. With its quiet operation and small form factor, the 2810 Series is effective for businesses requiring advanced traffic prioritisation, flexibility in user authentication or extensive traffic-monitoring capabilities in their networks. In addition, the 2810 works optimally in bandwidth-hungry applications such as graphical data, video streams, large database activity and data storage.

ProCurve Switch 1800 Series

The web-managed ProCurve Switch 1800 Series enables affordable, out-of-the-box Gigabit connectivity with fundamental management and configuration capabilities. The 1800 Series features a simple and intuitive web interface, making it particularly useful for businesses that do not have a large IT staff or advanced network management requirements.

The 1800 Series comes in two models. The Switch 1800-8G is a small, fan-less desktop switch ideal for connecting small work groups or for extending network connectivity into conference rooms or classrooms. The Switch 1800-24G is suited for environments that require larger port density, with two optional Gigabit fibre uplinks for connecting to a core or distribution switch.

ProCurve Switch 2510-24

The ProCurve Switch 2510-24 is a 24-port 10/100 managed Ethernet switch that combines Layer 2 switching with easy installation and exceptional reliability. The 2510-24 is small enough to be used in a wiring closet or as a desktop switch. It has no fan, providing noiseless operation for installation in open spaces or public areas. With two built-in dual personality ports, the product offers two 10/100/1000 ports for server connectivity or stacking and two optional Gigabit Mini-GBIC slots for fibre connectivity for longer distance uplinks.
