Switches

In this changing world, businesses need to be able to respond to sudden changes and market opportunities. This is possible only with a network that provides reliable, secure, anywhere, anytime access to everything. And such a network is possible only if you treat it as a system that ties business processes, applications, and networks together.

For performance, reliability, service, and software, Cisco edge switches lead the industry. When it comes to ensuring that your network stays reliable, you want peace of mind. With Cisco's Limited Lifetime Warranty, you've got it.

Trust your Cisco edge switch to provide the application intelligence, unified network services, integrated security, virtualization, and operational manageability you need.

Superior Investment Protection
Cisco's TwinGig Converter Module lets you migrate quickly and easily from Gigabit Ethernet to 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks when it suits your business, with no switch or module upgrade required.

With EnergyWise technology in every Cisco Catalyst switch, you're deploying the most energy-efficient networking technology in the industry -- energy savings that translate into lower greenhouse gas emissions and lower operating costs.

All Cisco edge switches are designed with Cisco EnergyWise technology built in, so you can be sure you're deploying the most energy-efficient switching technology on the market.

With EnergyWise, you can reduce energy costs by up to 30 percent, while lowering your greenhouse gas emissions and carbon footprint.

For more than 20 years, Cisco switching technology has set the standard for what an edge switch can and should do for your network.

At Cisco, we lead the way in performance, reliability, and network efficiency:

Easy to Use and Integrate with Unprecedented Resiliency
Cisco StackWise technology on the Cisco Catalyst 3750 and 3750-E Series provides unprecedented stackable resiliency and ease of operation at Gigabit Ethernet speeds. Your organization or enterprise branch offices can significantly increase the operating efficiency of LANs while adapting to changing business needs.

24-Hour Monitoring for Maximum Uptime
With Cisco Smart Call Home technology, your switches will be continuously monitored 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to provide proactive diagnostics, real-time alerts, and remediation. This allows you to identify and address problems before they affect your business.

Protect, Recover, and Update with Minimal Downtime
Single points of failure often exist at the network edge. But with Cisco Nonstop Forwarding with Stateful Switchover, you're protected against unplanned downtime resulting from hardware and software issues.

If your network does go down, you can count on zero interruption to Layer 2 sessions, using a redundant supervisor engine configuration on the Cisco Catalyst 4507R and Cisco Catalyst 4510R chassis.

In Service Software Upgrades (ISSUs) eliminate the need to take any part of your network offline for routine maintenance.
