24-Port PoE+ L3 Managed  Switch | HSP-IO-24GE4XS-C3PA+

A 24 port PoE switch switch is designed to eliminate network bottlenecks and deliver high-speed connectivity for business environments. With a high switching capacity, such as 128 Gbps, and a forwarding rate of up to 95.232 MPPS, it can handle heavy traffic volumes without performance degradation. The inclusion of 10G SFP+ uplink ports provides high-speed backbone connectivity to your network's core or servers, ensuring that your most critical data transfers are always fast and efficient. This guarantees smooth operation for high-bandwidth applications like video conferencing and large file transfers.

A key advantage of a managed switch is its advanced security capabilities. Network administrators can use features like Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) to segment the network and isolate sensitive data, preventing unauthorized access between different departments or types of devices. Access Control Lists (ACLs)  define who can access specific resources and 802.1X Port Security authenticate devices before granting network access. These features help safeguard your infrastructure from internal and external threats, ensuring data integrity and compliance.

A managed switch with Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) simplifies network deployment by delivering both data and power over a single Ethernet cable. This eliminates the need for separate power outlets for devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones, drastically reducing installation complexity and cost. With a substantial PoE budget, such as 370W, you can power multiple devices simultaneously without needing additional power injectors or electrical work, making it easy to expand your network.

Not all managed switches are Layer 3 switches, but most Layer 3 switches are managed. A Layer 2 managed switch offers management features within a single network. A Layer 3 managed switch includes all the features of a Layer 2 switch but also adds routing capabilities, allowing it to route data between different subnets, making it suitable for complex enterprise networks.

Yes, a managed switch is highly recommended for growing businesses. While an unmanaged switch may work for very simple setups, a managed switch offers:

• Scalability: Easily add more devices as your business grows.
• Reliability: Ensure critical applications like VoIP and video conferencing run smoothly.
• Security: Protect sensitive business data from unauthorized access.

Ultimately, a managed switch provides the control and stability required to prevent common network issues as your business expands.
