D-Link® Managed Switches Outperform Competitors in New Tolly Group Reports

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., May 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- D-Link today announced positive results of independent third-party Tolly Group comparison reports on three managed D-Link^® switches against Cisco, HP and Netgear. The results showed the DGS-3630-28TC Layer 3 Stackable Managed Gigabit Switch, DGS-1510-28x Layer 3 Stackable Managed Gigabit Switch, and DXS-3400-24TC 10GbE Stackable Managed Switch outperforming comparable competitor products.

D-Link switches outperformed competitors in latency, with the DGS-3630-28TC showing lower L2 and L3 latency across all packet sizes tested. Along with equivalent throughput from major competitors, the D-Link switches excelled in long-term benefits for total cost of ownership with cost-per-gigabit up to 62 percent lower than competitors, and up to 51 percent lower power consumption.  

"D-Link works hard to deliver robust and competitive products to the enterprise market. We turned to the Tolly Group to help us show others what we and our customers have known for a long time," said Michael Hardy, senior vice president of business solutions, D-Link. "We are excited to make these reports available so others can understand the value D-Link delivers for network infrastructure projects."

The Tolly Group has been testing systems and networking infrastructure for over 25 years and provides IT users with independent services and consulting designed to illuminate differences between strategic products or services – helping IT buyers make informed technology decisions. In three separate recent Tolly Group Test Reports, D-Link Managed Switches outperformed competitors in throughput, latency, cost-per-gigabit and power consumption.

More About the DGS-3630-28TC Report:
The DGS-3630-28TC Layer 3 Stackable Managed Gigabit Switch is designed for small to medium businesses, small to medium enterprises, larger enterprises, and ISPs to deliver high performance, flexibility, fault tolerance, and advanced software features for maximum return on investment. The Tolly Report highlights include:

• Line-rate throughput was equivalent across all GbE and 10GbE Ports
• Latency tests showed lower or equivalent L2 and L3 latency than competitor across all tested packet sizes
• Both switches stored all MAC addresses in the incremental test. For the random test, the DGS-3630-28TC Switch missed fewer addresses than its competitor.
• Cost-per-Gigabit was 56 percent lower than competitor switch
• DGS-3630-28TC delivered equivalent or better performance while keeping power consumption 38 percent lower than competitor

More About the DGS-1510-28X Report:
The DGS-1510-28X Layer 3 Stackable Managed Gigabit Switch provides a reliable, scalable, and modular interconnection between core switches and edge switches with rich capabilities and simplified flexibility. The DGS-1510-28X was tested against three competitors, and the Tolly Report highlights include:

• Line-rate throughput was equivalent across all GbE and 10GbE Ports
• Latency tests showed comparable L2 and L3 latency with competitor
• Cost-per-Gigabit was 62 percent lower than one competitor switch and constantly better with two other competitors
• Power consumption tests showed 62 percent lower energy usage
• DGS-1510-28X delivered Telecommunications Energy Efficiency Radio (TEER) that was 104 percent better than one competitor

More About the DXS-3400-24TC Report:
The DXS-3400-24TC 10GbE Stackable Managed Switch is a compact, high-performance switch that features wire speed 10-Gigabit Ethernet switching, routing, and ultra-low latency. The 1U height and high port density make the DXS-3400 suitable for enterprise and campus environments where space is at a premium. The Tolly Report highlights include:

• Line-rate L2 throughput was equivalent across all 10GbE Ports
• Equivalent latency results with competitor switch
• DXS-3400-24TC displayed dramatically lower MAC collision rates, missing zero addresses
