Cisco Compact Switches Extend Network Services White Paper Big Switch Networks Launches the SDN Industry Lippis Report 205: Cisco Compact Switches Extend Borderless Network Services to Furthest Network Points By Nicholas John Lippis III President, Lippis Consulting February, 2013 lippis report.com Cisco Compact Switches Extend Borderless Network Services to Furthest Network Points Cisco extended its line of Catalyst Compact cost justified based upon cable cost reduction, Switches with twelve new “fanless” models. The operational efficiency, improved security plus new Catalyst Compact Switches support PoE +, increased network performance. GbE connectivity, hardware acceleration, The Catalyst Compact Switches are based on security, energy management and most the same hardware, Cisco Network Operating importantly, zero touch configuration and remote System or IOS, and feature the same management features. These Compact management capabilities of the larger 2960-S Switches are designed to address unique and 3750-X/3560-X Catalyst access switches. requirements in the education, retail, hospitality, That is the Cisco Catalyst Compact Switches health care and manufacturing sectors, as well are engineered to be feature parity with the as conference rooms and small outpost offices larger Catalyst access switches. Because of large corporations. What’s common across Catalyst Compact Switches are low core density these industry sectors is the lack of IT staff and small form factor devices, they are deployed usually present in classrooms, retail outlets, in a multitude of verticals including doctor’s offices, hotels, etc., to support local manufacturing, retail, college dorms, hotel networking requirements, however many wish to rooms, classrooms, conference rooms, deploy the same security, power and hospitals, etc. For example, some retailers connectivity network services enjoyed at their utilized the Catalyst Compact Switches to larger facilities. With this in mind, Cisco’s connect point of sale terminals for PoE and Catalyst Compact Switches deliver new design networking needs. options that fundamentally reduce wiring and operational cost through remote network In the education sector, they are deployed in management while increasing network large universities, K-12, in classrooms, performance. The same security services found dormitories, etc. Hospitality and retail are large in its Catalyst Access Switches, such 2960-S, verticals for the Catalyst Compact Switches, 3750-X, 3560-X and 4500E, are also available in providing secure connectivity for slot machines the Compact Switches. The Catalyst Compact and large cruise lines, such as the Norwegian Switches price points vary from the low range Cruise Line. 2960-C to higher end 3560-C with GE and Because the Catalyst Compact Switches are POE+ support. In short, Cisco’s Catalyst deployed in so many scenarios, Cisco had to Compact Switches extend Cisco’s borderless offer a range of mounting options, making these network services and smart operations to the switches perhaps the most flexible in terms of furthest points of any network. In this Lippis where they can be placed. For example, Report, we review Cisco’s new line of Catalyst Catalyst Compact Switches are easily Compact Switches. mountable; there is even a magnetic mounting option that mounts the switch on a magnet, if the Cisco Catalyst Compact Switches switch cannot be fastened to a stationary The two lines of Cisco Catalyst Compact surface. Other mounting options include rack Switches are the 2960-C and the 3560-C. The mount and DIN mount. main value proposition of these switches is that These switches are designed to be deployed they share a large set of common features outside the wiring closet and into office among the Catalyst family of switches, including workspaces, retail outlets, doctor’s offices, Smart Operations, Borderless Network Security sports facilities, etc. The Compact Switches via TrustSec that provides access control plus eliminate the messy and expensive requirement encryption, MediaNet video services, to run multiple Ethernet cables from wiring EnergyWise power management and Cisco closets to end points needing connectivity.

Consider a large warehouse where the Compact Switch also delivers power efficiency, cost of a single cable run is between $200 to thanks to PoE and PoE+, plus they can be $1,000, depending upon city/state/country. powered via Cisco Universal Power over Therefore, connecting a cluster of end points Ethernet (UPOE) upstream switches. Further, that are located within small vicinity that is far Catalyst Compact Switches that support PoE from a wiring closet requires multiple cables to can be energy managed by Cisco EnergyWise, be pulled, driving up cost. Many connect these which provides a network- based energy cables directly to end points. In some cases, management system that monitors energy hubs are deployed to alleviate the cost of usage and can manage consumption much like running multiple RJ45 cables; however this a digital thermostat for temperature method provides an unintelligent and insecure Cisco deploys a unique PoE option for the solution to the problem, not to mention Ethernet Catalyst Compact switching products in that hubs divide bandwidth between users. some models can be powered by PoE enabled Rather than spend capital on wiring, IT leaders Catalyst in-closet switches such as the 2K, 3K can put that capital into a Catalyst Compact and 4K lines. In other words, a PoE enabled Switch and not only avoid cabling cost, but Catalyst (in-closet) switch, such as a 3750-X, deliver higher bandwidth and a more secure can power downstream Catalyst Compact user experience. For Cisco customers, there’s Switches. This means that there is no need to an added benefit to the Catalyst Compact run power to PoE-enabled Compact Switches; Switches’ approach as they utilized the same only an RJ45 cable is needed. This option is IOS interface and Cisco Prime management much like PoE-enabled WLAN access points software. In addition, wiring is neat and clean and IP phones being powered by in-closet PoE with one cable between a Cisco Catalyst switches.

  • Wiring Closet Ventilation Unit Rapidly Deployable Wall- and Ceiling-Mount Heat Removal for Wiring Closets
    Wiring Closet Ventilation Unit Rapidly deployable wall- and ceiling-mount heat removal for wiring closets. Rapidly deployable wall- and ceiling-mount heat removal for wiring clos- ets. Wiring closet heat loads are rising due to deployment of tech- nologies such as VoIP and Power over Ethernet. The Wiring Closet Ventilation Unit is a rapidly deployable wall and ceiling mount heat removal system designed specifically for the wiring closet environ- ment. By exhausting hot air from the closet to an adjacent space it allows conditioned air (entering through the Air Intake Grill) to cool the load. Dual fans increase availability while LED status indi- cators and dry contact outputs enhance the unit’s manageability. Features and Benefits: Selectable fan speeds allow the user to choose between maximum AV A IL A BILITY performance and quiet operation. • Dual fans: Provides fault tolerance in the event of a fan failure. • Variable speed fans: Selectable fan speed (high/low) via toggle switch provides option for max performance or quiet operation AD ap T A BILITY • Multiple mounting methods: Flexible design allows for both dry wall and ceiling mount installations. • Easy to install: Innovative design allows for fast, easy installation by almost anybody. • Hardwire capable: For installations where hard wiring is required or prefered. M A N A GE A BILITY • Predictive failure notification: Maximizes system availability by providing early warning of required fan replacement. • Dry contact output: Provides remote notification of failures when used with
