Product Positioning and Target Audience Messages

• Priced no more than an unmanaged switch
• Positioned as an enhanced operation or
  configurable switch.
• Up-sell to existing Baseline customers, currently
  opting out for unmanaged, unable to afford
  managed
• Mitigating their perceived financial risks and
  addressing their budget constrains
• .I cant afford managed
• Target tier-2 branded, L2 managed product vendors
  (Netgear, D-link, Linksys)
• Focusing on brand need Vs features thus
  mitigating brand security risks
• .I want just the essential functionality from a
  brand I can trust

Features and benefits
Features Benefits
Outstanding value Take advantage of flexible, configurable and powerful switching that costs not more than an Unmanaged Gigabit Switch
Highest performance Switches at blazing Gigabit speeds to help eliminate network traffic bottlenecks.
Browser-based user interface for switch configuration and administration An extremely easy to use user interface allows even the most novice users to configure the switch during initial set up or normal operation
Flexibility Take advantage of four dual purpose ports which can operate as 10/100/1000 copper or as SFP-based fiber ports. Use each independently for maximum flexibility or trunk a number of ports together to create an ultra high bandwidth pipe connecting the switch to a network backbone. Trunks can mix any media together (copper and SFP-based fiber, 1000BASE-SX or LX)
VLANs Network can be segmenting by grouping users based on their data/traffic exchange requirements. This ensures optimal use of available bandwidth as traffic flow is directed according to the needs of the business. The switch supports up to 256 VLANs
Link aggregation (trunking) Any number of ports of either copper or fiber can be grouped together to form an ultra high bandwidth pipe connecting the switch to a network backbone and prevent any traffic bottlenecks. The switch supports up to 4 trunks and up to 8 ports per trunk
Traffic prioritisation Mission critical traffic can be prioritised either by using standards based IEEE 802.1p
Traffic monitoring (port mirroring) The user can examine suspect data streams received on any port, by mirroring the data stream received to a monitoring port
Plug and play operation Switch is operational straight out of the box so, as long as basic connectivity is needed or the user is happy with the default configuration, no time has to be spent on set up
