Smart Switches

The functionality of a managed switch but easier to install and configure.

As your business increases in size and scope, so should its internal network. But you don't have to hire a separate IT staff just to bring a new network device online. Cisco Smart Switches contain the security and performance features of managed switches, but eliminate the difficulty from the installation process.  We will help guide you through the process to make it as effortless as using an unmanaged switch.

Cisco Smart Switches offer a range of features, including:

  • An easy-to-operate management interface that's accessible from a web browser
  • A range of fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet port options
  • Optional Power over Ethernet (PoE), which easily and cost-effectively powers wireless access points, video cameras, and other network-connected endpoints by eliminating the need to install separate power supplies
  • Resilient clustering, which provides the ability to control current and future switches using a single, common interface
  • Security functionality that uses authentication mechanisms and advanced filtering to remove the threat of unauthorized network access
  • Quality of service that prioritizes video and voice transmissions to help ensure consistent network performance and supports delay-sensitive data such as voice calls and teleconferences
