solutions, is a portfolio of affordable managed switches that provides a
reliable foundation for your business network. These switches deliver
the features you need to improve the availability of your critical
business applications, protect your sensitive information, and optimize
your network bandwidth to deliver information and applications more
effectively. Easy to set up and use, the Cisco 350 Series provides the
ideal combination of affordability and capabilities for small businesses
and helps you create a more efficient, better-connected workforce.
The
Cisco 350 Series is a broad portfolio of fixed-configuration managed
Ethernet switches. Models are available with 48 ports of Fast Ethernet
and 10 to 28 ports of Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, providing optimal
flexibility to create exactly the right network foundation for your
business. However, unlike other small business switching solutions that
provide managed network capabilities only in the costliest models, all
Cisco 350 Series Switches support the advanced security management
capabilities and network features you need to support business-class
data, voice, security, and wireless technologies. At the same time,
these switches are simple to deploy and configure, allowing you to take
advantage of the managed network services your business needs.
Business Applications
Whether
you need a basic high-performance network to connect employee computers
or a solution to deliver data, voice, and video services, the Cisco 350
Series offers a solution to meet your needs. Possible deployment
scenarios include:
- Secure desktop connectivity:
Cisco 350 Series Switches can simply and securely connect employees
working in small offices with each other and with all of the servers,
printers, and other devices they use. High performance and reliable
connectivity help speed file transfers and data processing, improve
network uptime, and keep your employees connected and productive.
- Secure wireless connectivity:
With its advanced security features, Power over Ethernet, Auto
Smartports, QoS, VLAN, and access control features, the Cisco 350 Series
Switches are the perfect foundation to add business-grade wireless to a
business network.
- Unified communications: As
a managed network solution, the Cisco 350 Series provides the
performance and advanced traffic-handling intelligence you need to
deliver all communications and data over a single network. Cisco offers a
complete portfolio of IP telephony and other unified communications
products designed for businesses. Cisco 350 Series Switches have been
rigorously tested to help ensure easy integration and full compatibility
with these and other products, providing a complete business solution.
- Highly secure guest connectivity.
Cisco 350 Series Switches let you extend highly secure network
connectivity to guests in a variety of settings, such as a hotel, an
office waiting room, or any other area open to nonemployee users. Using
powerful but easy-to-configure security and traffic segmentation
capabilities, you can isolate your vital business traffic from guest
services and keep guests' network sessions private from each other.
