Cisco Switch
Cisco Switch solutions create the ideal foundation for your Cisco networking solution. Cisco switches can support a diverse array of devices and traffic including regular IT traffic, telephone systems, and surveillance systems. Requirements vary depending on your specific environment; for example, you may need a Cisco PoE switch or a Cisco managed PoE switch to power VoIP telephones, or a Cisco Small Business switch for basic functionality.
Cisco switches come in many variants, including the common Cisco Layer 2 Switch and the Cisco Layer 3 switch for more advanced networking applications. We offer various sizes such as a Cisco 8 port switch, a Cisco 24 port switch, or a Cisco 48 port switch. Different speeds are available, including Cisco Gigabit Switch and Cisco 10GB Switch options, and we provide full Cisco switch configuration services for all models.
If budgets are tight, we recommend avoiding the risks of the grey market and choosing Cisco Refresh authorised refurbished units. Unlike standard used stock, these are Cisco switches from an official source and are sold with a full warranty just like a new Cisco switch.
Many customers are now choosing to upgrade their Cisco switch stack to a Cisco Meraki switch solution. Please contact us to buy Cisco switch devices, to receive Cisco switch price list information, or to learn more about Cisco switching.
Cisco Router
Cisco Router technology forms the core of your Cisco networking environment. Leading examples include Cisco Meraki with Meraki Firewall and traditional Cisco hardware.
We can segment your network into VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks), allowing us to manage multiple networks together. For example, regular IT traffic, VoIP Phones, CCTV, and WiFi can be managed within a single infrastructure. As a result, you can maximize your investment and avoid the cost of unnecessary extra equipment.
In addition, Cisco Routers provide robust security functionality including Cisco VPN, Cisco Firewall, and Cisco SD WAN. There are many different Cisco core router models available for various networking needs, such as a Cisco WiFi router for branch office applications.
If you are looking for Cisco router price information or you would like to buy a Cisco router, please contact us for expert advice and competitive quotes.
Cisco VPN
Cisco VPN provides secure remote access for your workforce, a critical component for modern work-from-home environments often referred to as a Cisco client to site VPN. Cisco VPN technology also facilitates secure links between multiple sites via a Cisco site to site VPN, effectively connecting multiple Cisco Networks across your estate.
Utilising encrypted Cisco IPSec VPN technology ensures that you can trust Cisco secure VPN services with your data privacy. We enable branch and office locations to communicate with total security; modern MPLS VPN Cisco alternatives are also available, such as Cisco SD-WAN and Meraki VPN solutions.
Cisco Firewall
Cisco Firewall technology is trusted globally to protect the perimeter of Cisco networking solutions. Cisco firewall rules control access to and from your internal networks, whether you utilize a Cisco hardware firewall, a Cisco virtual firewall appliance, or a Cisco web application firewall to protect cloud resources.
In addition, Cisco Advanced Security can be added to your Cisco network security firewall. This provides industry-leading features such as Cisco Content Filtering, Cisco Intrusion Prevention, and Cisco AMP (Advanced Malware Protection) to ensure total data integrity.
If you are looking for Cisco firewall price information, Cisco firewall licensing, or to buy Cisco firewall devices—including the Meraki Firewall—please contact us today for expert guidance.
Cisco SD WAN
Cisco SD WAN (or Cisco SD-WAN) is an increasingly popular technology, yet many organisations still ask: what is Cisco SD WAN or what is SD WAN from Cisco? Essentially, these software defined network cisco solutions offer secure and intelligent links between your sites, allowing your infrastructure to communicate with total security while ensuring key traffic such as VoIP and video receives priority.
This approach helps you deliver consistent QoS (Quality of Service) and a seamless user experience across your Cisco networks. Cisco SD WAN also allows for deep security integration; for example, Cisco SD WAN IPS can be included for Intrusion Prevention, while Cisco SD WAN Umbrella integration provides robust Internet and Web Security at the edge.
If you are looking to buy an SD WAN solution from Cisco, require Cisco SD WAN price information, or would just like some free advice on Cisco SD WAN—including the Meraki SD-WAN platform—please contact us today.
Cisco WiFi
Cisco WiFi solutions use Cisco access points to create industry-leading Cisco wireless networks. This includes Mesh WiFi, offering seamless coverage using Cisco wireless mesh network technology. As the world's number one solution for enterprise wireless networks, Cisco WiFi is designed to fix common problems such as poor reliability or slow speeds.
We use Ekahau Site Survey Professional (ESS Pro) to complete a Cisco wireless survey, allowing us to accurately design Cisco WiFi networks and plan for WiFi capacity. This methodology ensures we position Cisco wireless access points correctly within our Cisco wireless LAN design. For busy areas, this may involve a Cisco high density wireless access point, while in other scenarios, Cisco outdoor wireless mesh technology offers coverage over large areas.
By mapping WiFi networks to your sites, we ensure total Cisco access point coverage throughout, accurately predicting both Cisco indoor access point and Cisco outdoor access point coverage distance. Multiple Cisco wireless AP devices can create one single network, including Meraki Access Points that form a Meraki WiFi network.
A Cisco WiFi solution also supports specialist requirements such as Cisco hotel WiFi, Voice over WiFi (VoWLAN), and WiFi location needs. Furthermore, Cisco wireless technology is ideal for mobility deployments, including WiFi IP phones and WiFi calling.
Cisco Access Points
Cisco Access Point devices—sometimes called Cisco AP for short—allow us to deliver Cisco WiFi for networks of all sizes, from small businesses to large multi-site estates. Technology such as Cisco Meraki Mesh WiFi and Cisco Mobility Express can negate the need for a separate Cisco wireless LAN controller, making Meraki Access Points significantly easier to deploy and manage.
Access point WiFi Cisco solutions are the clear market leader, and utilizing Cisco PoE access point connectivity vastly simplifies deployment for large sites. Our Cisco managed wireless network solutions provide maximum flexibility, including the ability to provide secure Guest WiFi access that is completely ringfenced from your corporate network.
This includes Friendly WiFi to help protect your users while they are browsing the web, provided by our Cisco Umbrella guest WiFi integration. If you require Cisco wireless access point price information, a Cisco indoor access point price, or a Cisco outdoor access point price—or just want some free advice on Cisco access points—please contact us today.
