Enterasys Networks and Netgear each recently debuted LAN switches aimed at scaling up networks in small and mid-size companies. Enterasys introduced Matrix V2, a fixed-configuration stack-able switch that could be used to add quality of service (QoS) and other advanced features to small business networks. Also, Netgear, traditionally a consumer-focused firm, launched its FS526T 24+2 Smart Switch, aimed at the same customers: smaller companies looking to add advanced LAN traffic features. The Enterasys Matrix V2 is a 24-port 10/100M bit/sec Ethernet switch with two Gigabit Ethernet ports for connecting to a LAN backbone or for stacking Matrix V2s. (Eight units can be stacked and managed as one device.)
