The GS2220 series is the successor to Zyxel's most popular Layer 2 switch, the GS2210 series
“The situations arising from the COVID-19 pandemic have served as a stark reminder of the importance of flexible management options to adapt to any scenario,” explains Gonzalo Echeverría, country manager of Zyxel Spain. “Having a reliable network with zero-touch provisioning allows network administrators to maintain social distancing during this critical period.”.
Zyxel's new tri-mode switch features the Nebula Cloud management system, which empowers administrators to monitor and control networks anytime, anywhere through a centralized interface. Nebula Cloud is designed with businesses in mind, offering more efficient deployment, configuration, and analytics.
All GS2220 switches come with a free one-year Nebula Pro license, allowing businesses to experience the benefits of remote, centralized cloud management. It also enables them to prepare for future cloud migration with a fully tailored solution.
For businesses that don't support cloud management, administrators can opt for on-premises CLI management. This mode offers deep granularity and full read/write access. Alternatively, SNMP mode is available, providing a comprehensive management database and facilitating the administration of devices from different manufacturers across networks.
Stable, quiet, and compact,
Layer 2 switches are ready to handle the increasing demands of convergence as networks unify data, voice, video, e-commerce, and other applications. Stability is essential for L2 switches, which is why Zyxel has integrated significant hardware and software upgrades into the GS220. The new design provides greater reliability, with twice the surge protection and four times the surge resilience.
Furthermore, the switches can be conveniently installed in offices and low-noise work environments thanks to their new fanless, silent design. The GS2220 series features a more compact design than other PoE devices, freeing up shelf or desk space.
Full Port Compatibility:
The flexibility of the GS2220 series extends beyond port management. These switches support all Layer 2 switching applications, offering up to 44 combined copper/fiber Gigabit RJ45 ports and two SFP ports. Models with fewer ports are also available, designed for networks seeking to utilize more advanced Layer 2 management features at the access layer.
