Detail Description

Your business is growing, and that means more customers, more opportunities, and more attention on your company. The only problem: Your network was built for a smaller operation. As you add more devices, applications, and users, your IT environment will become increasingly difficult and expensive to manage. Even worse, as the network becomes more complex and overloaded, your users are likely to see sluggish performance and even outages.

With customers and employees depending on your business more than ever before, a slow or unreliable network is not an option. You need an IT backbone that provides excellent performance, nonstop availability, and advanced security. The ideal network will be easy to manage, support advanced features that will grow with your company, and be at a price that’s affordable.

Intended for medium-to-large size organizations with a need for highly-reliable and scalable Gigabit Ethernet switching, the Cisco SG550X-48-K9-NA Layer 3 switch represents a superior long-term investment.

This switch features forty-eight Gigabit Ethernet ports, along with four ten-Gigabit uplinks with both copper and SFP+ options.  A total 176Gbps maximum switching capacity makes the SG550X-48 a strong switch on its own, but real stacking abilities also allow you to stack up to eight units into a single logical switch with superior capabilities.

In addition, the SG550X-48 is designed to be simple to administer.  Deployment is simplified thanks to a variety of auto-configuration options, including smart QoS settings for attached appliances and automatic power usage adjustment to minimize power draw.  It also delivers superior reliability, with redundant power supplies and fans, along with dual-firmware capabilities.

The Cisco SG550X-48 switch comes with:

• • 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports
  • 2 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports
  • 2 10-Gigabit combo SFP/Copper ports
  • 176Gbps maximum switching capacity
