Ability to save money

speeds. In addition, the switches are scalable and provide small and medium businesses (SMBs)
with the comfort of knowing that their investment is protected as their company grows. Easy
Web-based management features and plug-and-play stacking ports will save customers signifi-
cant time in setting up the switches. Also, the switches’ ease-of-use features require minimal
