Netgear Targets Midmarket With New Offerings

New Linux powered switches and a network management platform debut as networking vendor ramps up mid-sized enterprise market portfolio.

Network-equipment maker Netgear made its name in the consumer space but a slew of new product announcements makes it clear the company has designs on even bigger business opportunities.

As Enterprise Networking Planet reports, the company's new 10 Gbps managed switch and network management system will give small and midsized companies an alternative to offerings from established players such as Cisco Systems and HP.

Among the advanced capabilities on the new XSM7224S is support for IPv6 as well as QoS (quality of service) features.

On the network management side, Netgear is rolling out its new NMS200 ProSafe Network Management System. Newton explained that the NMS is a software platform that will run on several different Windows platforms including Windows XP, Windows Server (2003 & 2008), Windows7 (32 and 64 bit).
