Cisco Small Business
Build a Powerful, Easy-to-Use Basic Business Network at an Affordable Price
The key to succeeding in today’s competitive business environment is investing resources wisely – knowing how to
separate the essential from the extraneous and get the most value for your dollar. As the backbone of your
business and productivity applications, the small business network clearly falls into the “essential” category. But
that doesn’t mean you need the most advanced feature set on the market.
