ProCurve Networking by HP today added to its line of industry–leading, affordable Layer 2 switches with the announcement of the ProCurve 1400 and 1700 Series switches. These devices deliver easy–to–use switching solutions backed by ProCurve's legendary quality, reliability, and support. Designed for small and growing companies that do not have a large IT staff or extensive networking expertise, the switches enable growing enterprises to focus on running their business, not running their network.
Perfect for deployment in open spaces, both the 1400 and 1700 Series switches feature silent operation via a fan–less design, resulting in energy–efficient operation which is critical in today's business environment.
Like all ProCurve products, the new switches are based on industry standards for superior interoperability in the multi–vendor network environments that are common in most networking schemes. The 1400 and 1700 Series switches come standard with ProCurve's industry–leading lifetime warranty, which features next–business–day advance replacement, free telephone and email support, and free software updates for as long as the customer owns the product.
The ProCurve Switch 1400 Series
The 1400 Series consists of two fan–less unmanaged Gigabit switches, the 1400–24G and the 1400–8G, featuring high–bandwidth connectivity and plug–and–play simplicity for enhanced collaboration.
The 1400–24G is a rack–mountable, 24–port 10/100/1000 switch with twenty–two 10/100/1000 ports and two dual–personality ports for either 10/100/1000 or Mini–GBIC connectivity for optional fiber uplinks. The 1400–24G is ideal for environments requiring larger port density. The 1400–8G is a small–form–factor switch with eight 10/100/1000 ports, and is best utilized for desktop use for small office connectivity or adding additional ports to conference rooms and classrooms.
The 1400 replaces the ProCurve Switch 2700 Series providing more value at a lower price. The ProCurve Switch 2724 will no longer be available to order from ProCurve as of April 1, 2007. The ProCurve 2708 has limited quantities remaining and will be available while supplies last.
The ProCurve Switch 1700 Series
The ProCurve Switch 1700 Series consists of two fan–less Web Managed switches, the 1700–24 and the 1700–8. Both provide reliable and affordable network connectivity with basic management and configuration capabilities, such as VLANs and Link Aggregation which are configured via an intuitive Web interface.
The ProCurve Switch 1700–24 is a rack–mountable, 24–port switch with twenty–two 10/100 ports plus two dual–personality ports for 10/100/1000 or Mini–GBIC connectivity for optional fiber uplinks. The ProCurve Switch 1700–24 is designed for office environments that require larger port density.
The small form factor and fan–less ProCurve Switch 1700–8 is designed for desktop use. It has seven 10/100 ports and one 10/100/1000 port, and is ideal for connecting small work groups or for extending network connectivity in open environments like conference rooms or classrooms.
