Asante Broadens K-12 Distribution

Asante Technologies introduced a new K-12 distribution program to expand education sales and expedite fulfillment to resellers, VARs and system integrators.

The program provides education resellers with a variety of the firm's managed and unmanaged hubs, adapter cards and other networking products at a special education discount through distribution. It also gives resellers the option of buying directly from the distributor, through Asante, or both.

Products available include the Asante Hub 2072, a chassis-based managed hub; the NetStacker stackable hub with optional management capability, Plug-and-Play unmanaged 10BASE-T hubs in eight-port, 12-port and 24-port configurations; the Micro AsantéPrint Ethernet-to-LocalTalk converter; and a series of Macintosh and PC network adapter cards.
