Allied Telesis Offers Eco-Friendly, Power Efficient Solutions with Upgrades to the GS950 Series of WebSmart Gigabit Switches

London, United Kingdom, March 12, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Allied Telesis has introduced further upgrades to its best selling series of GS950 WebSmart eco-friendly Gigabit switches. The AT-GS950/8, AT-GS950/16 and AT-GS950/24 maintain the same standard of Gigabit Ethernet speeds while reducing power consumption by as much as 50%.

A number of models in the GS950 series operate with no internal fans, making them suitable for use in a range of environments. In addition, the new series of switches are smaller in size than existing models, offering customers greater flexibility and further cost savings in power consumption.

The switches are suitable for desktop, wall, or rack mounting and all ports are auto MDI/MDI-X for a simplified cabling process. Each port also contains a diagnostic LED, enabling the network administrator to identify how each port is connected.

Melvyn Wray, Senior VP of Product Marketing EMEA at Allied Telesis, commented, “With the upgrades to the GS950 series we continue to offer our small enterprise customers Gigabit Ethernet functionality while dramatically improving power efficiency. This significant reduction in power consumption equates to long-term cost savings in addition to a wider range of improvements enabled by our latest upgrade.”
