Cisco Smart Business Architecture (SBA)
The Cisco Smart Business Architecture for Midsize Organizations is a blueprint for designing and deploying a full-service, comprehensive network to support your business needs and helps you to increase sales and profitability. Cisco SBA delivers prescriptive network design and deployment best practices for midsize organizations with 100 to 1000 end users.
Cisco Smart Business Architecture for Midsize Organizations helps you increase sales and profitability, and service customers with 250–1000 connected endpoints. Use it to solve any problems with:
- Borderless Networks: a strong foundation that supports transparent, highly secure, reliable access to any resource, from any location, using any device. It is based on the simple concept that Cisco switching, routing, security and wireless solution works better together than a hybrid network of multiple vendor products. New implementation guides incorporate products such as Cisco ISR G2 Series Routers, Cisco 5500 Series Wireless Controller, and Cisco IronPort
- Collaboration: Includes enhanced Unified Communications Guides, plus support for Cisco WebEx solutions
- Data Center: New design, configuration, and implementation guides help customers move from a server room to a high-availability data center with bridging, storage networking, and security
