Business applications
Whether you need basic, high-speed connectivity for your computers and servers or a comprehensive voice,
data, and wireless technology solution, Cisco Business 250 Series switches can meet your business needs.
Possible deployment scenarios include:
●
High-speed desktop connectivity: Cisco Business 250 Series switches can quickly and securely
connect employees working in small offices with one another and with all of the printers, servers, and
other networking devices. High performance and reliable connectivity help speed up file transfers and
data processing, improve network uptime, and keep your employees productive.
●
Flexible wireless connectivity: Cisco Business 250 Series switches work with Cisco and third-party
wireless solutions to extend the reach of your network. With security features, Power over Ethernet Plus
(PoE+), Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN), and QoS, these switches are the perfect foundation to add
enterprise-grade wireless solutions to a network. The capability of up to 30W of power per port provided
through the Ethernet cable means you can easily deploy Cisco Business Wireless access points to
maximize workforce productivity.
●
Unified communications: The Cisco Business 250 Series provides QoS features to enable you to
prioritize delay-sensitive traffic in your network and let you converge all of your communications
solutions such as IP telephony and video surveillance onto a single Ethernet network. Cisco offers a
complete portfolio of IP telephony and other unified communications products designed for small
businesses, and Cisco 250 Series switches have been rigorously tested to help ensure easy integration
and full compatibility with these and other vendor products.
Features and benefits
Cisco Business 250 Series Smart Switches provide all of the features you need to create a basic enterprise-
class network at an affordable price. These features include:
