D Link broadened its selection of scalable switching solutions, by introducing D-Link DGS-6604 xStack chassis switch.

The D Link DGS 6604 chassis based switch delivers superior performance, 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GE) aggregation, and Power Over Ethernet (PoE) support with the flexibility of D Link’s standards based architectures. This new cost effective switch enables businesses to future proof their networks with field proven IPv6 capabilities, high availability for mission critical applications, enhanced security, and simplified management.

“As data rich applications and bandwidth demands continue to grow, businesses are now looking for affordable, high performance networking devices that offer seamless integration with other network components. D-Link’s superior economic model and range of standards-based switches ensure businesses don’t have to settle for complex, premium priced hardware” said Mr. Tushar Sighat, CEO-D-Link (India) Limited.

Highlighting on D-Link’s leadership position in switching segment, Mr. Sighat added “According to Gartner, D Link is the number one provider of Ethernet ports shipped to small enterprise and number two provider of Ethernet ports shipped to enterprises worldwide1, demonstrating our commitment to delivering networking solutions with the features and capabilities that our customers need.”

D Link Comprehensive IPv6 Support
D-Link DGS 6604 goes beyond IPv6 certification. D Link’s field proven interoperability with IPv6 expertise, future proofs your network for the next phase of the Internet, and provides new capabilities that can simplify network operations. Beyond passing the IPv6 Ready Logo Phase II test criteria – which expands the “core IPv6 protocols” test coverage to approximately 450 tests including new test categories, and verification of optimum compliance – D Link already has multiple customers running production IPv6 networks. D Link IPv6 support includes IPv6 Tunnel, ICMPv6, IPv6 Neighbor Discovery, DHCPv6, RIPng, and OSPFv3.

D-Link DGS 6604 Chassis Switch Features
