14. Switching

15. D-Link key value proposition • Strong range of Small, Medium & Enterprise Products • Unmanaged Switches: market leader worldwide • SMART (Web-managed) Switches • Stackable Switching (Virtual stacking through SIM or physical stack technologies) • Enterprise/Metro-grade Chassis Switches • PoE, non-PoE and Hybrid variants to suit all business needs • FE, GigE & 10GigE variants provide wide range of technologies & options across market • Impressive Price/Performance Ratio • Market leader in unmanaged Ethernet switch ports worldwide • Deep featureset capability comparable to any leading market vendor • Inbuilt security architecture • Used in combination with D-Link Firewalls to offer seamless integrated security • Green Technology : first to market • Green Ethernet provides real cost saving benefits to LAN infrastructures

16. Business Switching Product Categories Unmanaged Switches: • Provide layer 2 plug-and-play connectivity for home and small businesses. • Ideal for small networks that require no management, configuration or maintenance DES-1016D Managed Switches: • Allow administrators to monitor traffic across the network, introduce redundancy and control access with deep feature-sets. • Found in networks with numerous users and applications, where performance, security and reliability must be maximized • Stackable technologies allows smaller-configuration units to be “stacked”, operating as if they were a single, larger unit DES-3526 Smart (Web-managed) Switches: • Offering a mid-way alternative, a smart switch offers many of the benefits of a managed switch but without the complexity • Configuration is simplified via a web browser, combining ease of use of unmanaged switches whilst introducing advanced management features. • Ideal for users who need basic management features DES-1228

17. The “Green” Approach & Commitment > Our “Green” approach is first to market and can save on average over 44% of power costs • Power Supplies Energy-Star compliant, switches move to fanless design • If there is no cable link or link partners turn idle, Green Ethernet will put port in a “sleep mode”, reducing power used for that port • Green Ethernet detects Ethernet cable length and adjusts power usage to save power. (Switches typically configured for 100m cable length) “Green Ethernet is a new technology that is receiving significant interest from those companies that are consciously looking at ways to reduce energy consumption and ultimately their carbon footprint. D-Link has stolen a lead on its core competitors, by being the first to market with this technology and importantly offering it to market with no price premium.” Lloyd Everard, Director of Infrastructure, the SAS Group

18. D-Link Web-Smart Switches • Versatile switches with intuitive management features • Strong featureset comparable to Enterprise Switches • Enhanced and intuitive web interface for management • Ideal for small/medium business

19. xStack: Premium Business Products Enabled by SIM technology that allows 32 switches to be managed by one single IP address.* Reduced network management resources: Reduced network infrastructure costs: Enabled by reduction in modules & expensive interconnect cables as well as flexible stacking switches. Pro-active network security: By integrating with D-Link’s firewalls, the managed switches can effectively block any malicious host when detected, enabling network uptime whilst avoiding the spread of viruses. Increased network reliability & redundancy: Enabled by fail proof ring and star stacking topology and redundancy protocols. Future-proof scalability: By implementing Layer3 Gigabit switches that can support Ethernet to the desktop but can be upgraded to Gigabit if required. Increased bandwidth & speed: By avoiding bottle necks within the network and ensuring cost effective 10 Gigabit connections. Flexibility : Enabled by PoE** technology and flexible uplinks.

23. Business Wireless

24. Business Wireless – Market Overview WLAN spending is forecast to more than double by 2010 as businesses invest heavily in wireless infrastructure (Gartner) Key drivers are user & application mobility, user consolidation (improving the user:network ratio), improved awareness at consumer level and enhancing security of the network In some key verticals, additional technology applications are driving the need for wireless technologies e.g. Retail/Warehousing: RFID & wireless tracking technologies Voice-over–WLAN technologies at Enterprise & SME Wireless-N standard ratification will improve productivity and throughput of current wireless networking infrastructures: Gartner forecasts around half of all business wireless will be Wireless-N standard by 2011.

25. D-Link Key Value Proposition Unified Switching in the business One single device can manage both wired & wireless access traffic – Unified Switch = Wireless controller + LAN switch Centralized management for wireless AP & client, including security policy & RF parameters Enable seamless wireless roaming without the need of changing IP & user re-authentication: necessary in particular for voice applications Compared to previous generation wireless solutions (mobile controller), Unified Switching platforms offer a strong depth of features to complete wired switching functions & enough physical connections to be in the edge position

26. Deploying into existing networks • In large WLAN deployments with many Access Points, it makes sense to centralize AP management in order to gain efficiency. This has traditionally been achieved by integrating a dedicated appliance into the core of the network. • In this “overlay” deployment, traffic is tunnelled to the switch for centralized data forwarding “decisions”. • This has the advantage of not disturbing any existing LAN switching infrastructure.

27. Optimising with Unified Switching • A more recent approach is to fully integrate and control the wireless elements at the edge of the network, creating a unified wired and wireless access system. • The solution consists of one traditional layer 2+ switch enhanced with the capabilities of a Wireless Appliance and “thin” Access Points entirely controlled from the switch. • This has the advantage of scalability and with “peer” switches distributing the WLAN Switching capability, roaming areas can be significantly extended.

28. Unified Switching Value Proposition Flexible Deployment Support Tunnelled and Non-Tunnelled mode Wireless traffic can be tunnelled back to the switch or be forwarded locally at the AP. Additional costs savings can be established by reducing necessity for additional ethernet LAN switches at the edge Strong Feature & Administration Support Single point of administration & policy management Rogue Access Point Prevention & Access Point Load Balancing Fast L2/L3 roaming across subnets (ideal for VoWLAN support) Wireless-11N support Automatic Power/Channel adjustment (to minimise interference) Centralized Access Point profile dispatch Access Point Self-Healing & Fail-over
