Cisco Fixed-Configuration Switches The Cisco fixed configuration portfolio of switches includes the industry's widest and most versatile selection of fixed-configuration switches, enabling customers to deploy an ideal platform to support their growing business needs. Unlike point solutions, these switches offer the feature-rich networking functionality of Cisco IOS and NX-OS software with strong security and efficient manageability, providing a firm foundation for converged data, voice, and video services as well as for virtualization and cloud computing solutions with unmatched performance and resiliency. The Cisco Nexus 5000 and 3000 Series and Cisco Catalyst 4900, 3750-X, 3750, 3560-X, 3560, 2960-S, and 2960 offer an array of connectivity options, from Fast Ethernet to 10 Gigabit Ethernet. They range from small, standalone switches to stackable models as well as top-of-rack or end-of-row solutions for the Campus and Data Center networks. And many models are available with a choice of software images with security, application visibility and operational simplicity, allowing customers to dictate the level of intelligent network services based on individual needs. 135
