ALLENDALE, NJ; March 01, 2007 Dataprobe, a leading manufacturer of innovative technology solutions for networking systems management, has released a new line of redundancy switches, the K-3 Series. The K-3, which provides up to three A/B switches in a 1U rack-mount chassis, is optimized for remote sites and distributed systems that want to construct high availability, fault tolerant communications.

Utilized by network architects, communications service providers, system integrators and consumers, Dataprobe products provide a foundation for business continuity and maximum uptime of critical communications. Dataprobelatest solution, the K-3, provides reliable physical layer switchover of communications circuits for line protection and equipment redundancy applications. The K-3 Series is ideal for smaller sites, and applications such as Redundant Computer Telephony, T-1/T3 Protection Switching, and Red/Black Encryption Switching.

Small remote sites provide mission-critical operations and have the same availability requirements as data centers, said David Weiss, president of Dataprobe. The new K-3 is a compact, robust and affordable redundant switching system that is designed to address these challenges head-on by ensuring maximum uptime for critical communication circuits.

Weiss continued, Our customers are demanding higher levels of uptime from all points on their network. The K-3 addresses these needs by providing the same level of availability for smaller sites at a price that makes high availability practical for all locations.

The K-3 boasts all of the same automatic and remote control capabilities of Dataprobe's field-proven K-16 Series Redundancy Switching system, and is available in a high-density 1U chassis. All of the same power, control and circuit modules available for the K-16 are implemented in the K-3. With the K-3, users can control up to three A/B switches in either independent or gang switch arrangement. The K-3 can be controlled via Web, Telnet, SNMP, etc., making the system accessible from any network location. The K-3 chassis provides for one internal A/C or D/C power supply, with the option for dual redundant power in an external supply.
