A Cost-Effective, High-Performance Network Foundation to Keep Your Business Moving
In a world that never slows down, your business needs to keep moving. That means keeping employees connected at all times--to each other and to the business applications they need to do their jobs. Imagine a network that provides a single, high-performance platform for all of your business applications. Where your employees don't have to worry about reduced productivity because the network is down or because a vital application is unavailable or running too slowly. Imagine being able to manage your entire network platform from a single interface, and being able to easily add new data, voice, video, and wireless applications as your business evolves.
Cisco offers a network solution for small businesses that can make this vision a reality. The Cisco® ESW 500 Series Switches are cost-effective, easy-to-use switches that provide the foundation of your small business network. These high-performance switches deliver the reliability you need to keep your employees connected and productive, preserving the availability of your essential applications and services to keep your business moving.
Cisco ESW 500 Series Switches
The Cisco ESW 500 Series, part of the Cisco Small Business Pro Series, is a group of managed Ethernet switches that provide wire-speed Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, integrated security, quality of service (QoS), and Power over Ethernet (PoE) to support all of your business network needs. These switches integrate easily with Cisco Small Business Pro products as well as the Cisco Smart Business Communications System to provide a complete data, voice, video, and wireless networking solution for your business. With the Cisco ESW 500 Series, you can take advantage of a proven network solution and a broad portfolio of high-performance, easy-to-manage switches that are designed and priced for small businesses.
-Move beyond your traditional phone system: The Cisco Smart Business Communications System lets you transform your business by bringing together all of your communications onto a single network.

Together, the solution lets you support all of your company's phone calls, messaging, and data. Your employees can be more productive, and you can save money by managing and paying for just one network.
-Securely extend network access with wireless: The Cisco ESW 500 Series Switches with PoE can connect and power your wireless access points while supporting robust security and identity services to protect your wireless environment. By choosing Cisco ESW 500 Series Switches with both PoE and Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, you can support new wireless technologies such as 802.11n and extend the life of your wireless technology investment.
-Connect your small business: The Cisco ESW 500 Series Switches meet the needs of a range of small businesses. The 10/100 Fast Ethernet switches can provide outstanding desktopconnectivity in small networks to connect computers, printers, and servers. They are well suited to new businesses starting up or businesses that previously used basic, unmanaged switches but now require support for additional features such as QoS traffic prioritization and advanced security. The Gigabit Ethernet switches in the Cisco ESW 500 Series can go even further, helping you achieve optimal performance from your desktop PCs, servers, and other shared devices with Fast or Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.
