NETGEAR Easy Smart Managed Switches and Easy Smart Managed Essentials Switches are an upgrade from unmanaged switches. Easy Smart Managed Switches and Easy Smart Managed Essentials Switches are plug-and-play for easy deployment, but also support additional configuration and monitoring features using a web browser-based device user interface (UI):
- Easy Smart Managed Switches: These switches are designed for high-availability enterprise environments in which downtime is not acceptable. The switches come with enterprise-grade hardware for continuous operation, a limited lifetime hardware warranty, and a dedicated technical-support escalation path. In the unlikely situation that a hardware issue arises, NETGEAR can provide next-business-day replacement.
- Easy Smart Managed Essentials Switches: The Essentials line is designed for small office/home office (SOHO) deployments and growing small businesses. The switches come with standard limited warranty to provide reliable protection and assistance for small business deployments. NETGEAR offers optional ProSUPPORT service contracts.

Easy Smart Managed Switches used to be called Web Managed Plus Switches, and before that, ProSAFE Managed Plus Switches.
