Switches

Cisco switches deliver highly secure, scalable solutions built on class-leading features, standards-based technologies, and cost-effective designs. Whether equipping a small office, multisite enterprise, data center, or service provider, Cisco switches offer the flexibility, performance, and security to meet the challenges of rapidly evolving network requirements.

Cisco switches work at the core of all networks -- supporting a myriad of high-speed connectivity, application, and communications requirements.

Today’s networks must efficiently and securely transmit bandwidth-intensive data, voice, video, and wireless applications, while adapting to evolving traffic patterns, new services, and the challenge of optimizing application performance.

Cisco switches are designed to facilitate these changes, while helping to ensure the smooth and effective transport of communications on a continuous basis.

Technologies and features inherent to Cisco switches help organizations increase productivity and control costs in three critical areas -- whether those switches are deployed to support campus LAN, data center, or service provider implementations:

• Virtualization: Simplify operations, reduce network costs, and maximize existing investments
• Collaboration: Increase productivity by overcoming barriers of location, distance, and time
• Operations: Automate network services, energy control, and minimize total cost of ownership
