Cisco Network Design Solutions for Small-Medium Businesses focuses on the vital networking solutions for small-medium business (SMB) environments: IP Telephony, wireless, security, unified messaging, routing/switching infrastructure, customer contact platforms, and more. Deploying a networking solution is a process that has varying approaches. The one-minute, do-it-yourself, plug-and-play, or drive-through approaches are valid under certain limited conditions. A more robust approach is based on a blueprint resulting from a design process that precedes the deployment. The latter approach considers the available technologies, incorporates the business strategy, defines the user requirements, and subjects the final design to the SMB's budgetary process to create a matching solution that scales and performs in support of the business mission. This book describes and recommends the latter approach when deploying the networking solutions that are explored within its pages.
