Cisco Business 350 Series

This is a small business switch, and for me, that means that if all I need is just this one switch, then I am on the right path. I would not want to use this switch to support a couple of hundred people trying to access heavy local resources. It should be used when you have a few dozen devices and/or users and a fairly flat network.

Incentivized

• Good throughput per port
• Good manageability
• Reasonable price point

Incentivized

• Not every feature in the GUI is available at the command line

We are a big Cisco shop and wanted to use Cisco switches for this application. We knew that we'd be able to configure them quickly and the time saved doing the configuration would be to our benefit. Knowing that we wanted to go with a fully managed switch also was a major tipping point in Cisco's favor. Having used some of the other vendors' "managed" switch interfaces, nothing comes close to Cisco's approach. Having a better user interface will give us plenty of time down the road.

Incentivized

• We replaced thirty older switches for very little capital investment.
• The new devices are compliant with our security needs, so we quickly cleared those issues.
• The new switches were very easy for us to apply a standardized configuration that allowed us to get them up and operational in minutes.
