By:




The Cisco x series, also known as the Catalyst 3750-X Series, is built specifically to support the dynamic needs of the businesses of today. These switches are enterprise-class and stackable, making them highly available and energy efficient. The series also enables scalability and offers much-needed enhanced security for enterprises.
Innovative and cutting-edge features

Cisco Switches are known for their innovation and multi-feature advantages. Let's take a look at some of the features, this particular series offers businesses.
Connectivity and investment protection

* All-round connectivity is very important for companies and the switches include both PoE+, as well as non-PoE models. The PoE+ comes with 30W power, in 1 RU (rack unit), and this applies to all ports. Business can also choose four Ethernet SFP, of 1 Gb, or two Ethernet SFP of 10 GB, along with network modules. * High Availability is an essential feature of switches, and the series enables this through StackPower and StackWise. StackPower is a unique, never-seen-before feature in the industry and allows stack members to easily share power between each other. StackWise Plus, offers consistent 64 Gbps and resilience for systems that need it the most. The switches are dual redundant, they come with fans and modular power capabilities. * Needless to say, because switches are an investment for businesses, its features must include solid investment protection. Cisco understands that upgrading entire systems all at once is not viable; hence the X series is backward compatible with the previous version - the 3750 Series. The company also offers its enterprise clients a lifetime warranty on the switches. Any solution that saves you energy is a great investment, and the switches come with EnergyWise, a system that allows businesses to reduce their energy consumption, and also measure and report the energy usage.
Security and Software

* Security is given very high priority for all Cisco products, whether it is Cisco firewalls or
Cisco Routers, this is no different when it comes to Cisco Phones and switches. Hardware-based encryption (MAC Security) and other features like access control and Multicast and IPv6 routing capabilities ensure that businesses are protected at all times. * Whether it is Cisco telephones or the company's switches, Cisco excels at loading excellent hardware with great software capabilities. The switches include LAN Base, that is Layer 2 Switching (Enterprise Access), IP Base and IP services, which include Layer 3 with OSPF and Advanced Layer 3 with IPv4 and IPv6 respectively.
