Netgear has come up with ProSafe 52-Port Gigabit Stackable Smart Switch for the Indian market.

Netgear has claimed the switch to be the first in the market to boast 10 Gigabit connectivity. Mainly targeted at the mid-market networks, the switch is compatible with 10 gigabit servers meant to carry out tasks, such as high-volume transaction processing, video on demand, data replication, data back up and virtualization.

The switch flaunts 48 gigabit ports that are meant for connecting devices to network. It also contains four 10G SFP+ ports, which are useful fore stacking or uplinking to servers.

There seems to be little doubt that the 10G connectivity will enable the switch to squeeze out best possible performance from NAS appliances, servers and network up-links.

The device is priced at INR 1,19,000/- in India.
