Enterprise-Class Stackable
Switching at an Entry-Level Price
Today’s organizations expect their
enterprise campus LANs to deliver more
services to more users at a lower cost.
These services include next-generation
business applications as well as anytime,
anywhere access for mobile devices.
At the same time, campus LANs must
be able to scale easily to meet future
demands and efficiently evolve within
dynamic business environments.
