Midsize Customers Design Guide and Deployment Guide.
The Cisco Borderless Architecture for Midsize Customers is a prescriptive
The Cisco Borderless Architecture for Midsize Customers is a prescriptive
architecture that delivers an easy-to-use, flexible, and scalable network with
wired, wireless, security, WAN optimization, and unified communication com-
ponents. The architecture eliminates the challenges of integrating the various
network components by using a standardized design that is reliable and has
comprehensive support offerings.
The Cisco Smart Business Architecture for Midsize Customers is designed
The Cisco Smart Business Architecture for Midsize Customers is designed
to address the common requirements of organizations with 2000 to 10000
employees. Each organization is unique, however, and so are its requirements.
Because of that, the Cisco Borderless Network Architecture was built so that
additional capabilities could be added without redesigning the network.
Figure 1.
One way that the Cisco Borderless Network Architecture accomplishes this
extensibility is by breaking down the architecture into three primary layers: Net-
work Foundation, Network Services,
work Foundation, Network Services,
and User Services. See Figure 1.
The Cisco Wireless Control System is a User Service. User Services are the
services or applications we use everyday and interact with directly. They range
from picking up the phone to use the phone service, to reading our email using
the email service. How well a User Service interacts with the Network Service
impacts how it performs when a user actually uses it, which makes Wireless
Network management an imperative for a healthy network.
Reliable Network Services provided by the Cisco Smart Business Architecture
Reliable Network Services provided by the Cisco Smart Business Architecture
such as the Internet connection, WAN infrastructure, and security help ensure a
