Overview:

Experience the most versatile and easy to manage switches in the market

As a leading provider of network equipment for SMBs, NETGEAR® understands the importance of reliable and high performance networks. With the growth of virtualization, cloud-based services and applications like VoIP, video streaming and IP surveillance, SMB networks need to extend beyond simple reliability to simpler management and remote monitoring to ensure your network is “always up”. NETGEAR also understands that small business owners shouldn’t have to understand networking and IT; they need a network that’s easy-to-setup and is reliable, so they can focus on their business, not their network. To that end, NETGEAR is introducing our most versatile and easy-to-manage switches ever, NETGEAR Insight Managed Smart Cloud switches.

The Insight Managed Smart Cloud Gigabit Ethernet Switches are the first switches from NETGEAR with anywhere configuration and management. Using either the NETGEAR Insight app on your mobile device or tablet, or the Insight Cloud Portal from your PC, Mac, or tablet, you can quickly discover, setup, monitor and manage your Smart Cloud Switches from anywhere in the world! With their remote cloud manageability, sleek design silent or whisper-quiet operation, they are the most versatile switches in the market for any environment. Whether at home, out of the office or on a business trip, you can still manage and monitor your network as if you were right there.

Network-centric configuration and management

NETGEAR Insight Managed Switches and Wireless Access Points using the NETGEAR Insight app allow for cross-device automated configuration of VLANs, QoS, ACLs, and LAGs. Auto-join and configure (zero-touch privisioning) allows for additional devices added seamlessly.

Fully-integrated cloud-manageable devices

NETGEAR Insight Managed switches are fully-integrated, cloud-manageable, plug-andplay devices. Just connect to your network and without any setup, they’re passing traffic. For configuration setup, management, and monitoring, you can use the Insight mobile app on your mobile device or the Insight Cloud Portal from your PC, Mac, or tablet web browser. No additional cloud controller, appliance, network manager, or on-premise cloud server necessary.

Clean, sleek silent (or whisper-quiet) designs

Insight Managed switches have a modern, clean design, with simple power and cloud connection LEDs on the front. GC108, GC108P and GC510P models are all fanless and silent, while GC510PP has a whisper-quiet fan.
