HP ProCurve Networking has launched two Gigabit Ethernet switches for small and medium businesses (SMBs) that need increased network performance for large file transfers and high bandwidth applications such as graphical data, video streams, large databases, network backup and data storage. The standards-based ProCurve Switch 2510G Series comprises two fully-managed Layer 2 switches that offer Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.

The new plug-and-play switches are easy to deploy, manage and maintain for SMBs, which typically do not have a large or specialised IT staff. Backed by ProCurve lifetime warranty, the 2510G Series is a cost-effective solution for SMBs, which are seeking an upgrade to Gigabit connectivity to improve efficiency.

"ProCurve offers a choice of secure and affordable plug-and-play networking solutions for SMBs that will enable them to expand their networks as their needs grow", said Louis Au, HP ProCurve vice president and general manager for Asia Pacific and Japan.

The ProCurve Switch 2510G-24 will be available for Rs 51,100 while the ProCurve Switch 2510G-48 will be available for Rs 92,980 this July onwards.
