Network Architecture
Cisco AVVID (Architecture for Voice, Video and Integrated Data) provides the framework for today's business solutions. As the industry's only enterprise-wide, standards based network architecture, Cisco AVVID provides the roadmap for combining your business and technology strategies into one cohesive, scalable model.
Cisco AVVID provides the infrastructure for the rapid deployment of emerging
voice, security and storage-area networking services, as well as wireless
mobility and new Internet business solutions. Learn more about Cisco AVVID.
Intelligent Switching Solutions
Cisco Catalyst Series switches provide advanced QoS, advanced security and the bandwidth to support network growth. Migrating to intelligent switching is not a difficult step in a network's evolution, but it's important because it's a step in the right direction for future development.
Cisco AVVID and Cisco Catalyst Series switches together drive network performance forward. If your business is planning to upgrade your network, make sure you consider the following options.
Cisco Catalyst switches can be deployed in Small, Medium or Large Networks in either Branch Office or Campus configuration using Cisco AVVID architecture
Campus networks
Small and medium campus networks usually have a two-tier design, with an Ethernet access layer and a core/distribution layer that is consolidated to form a collapsed backbone. Large campus networks usually have a three-tier design with an Ethernet access layer, a distribution layer and core layer.
Branch office networks
Most branch offices consist of a two-layered network with an access layer and a distribution layer, although some small branch offices may have only one layer that provides both access and distribution. The WAN interconnect and routing may be consolidated within the LAN switch.
The following matrix show the ideal deployment situation for each of the Cisco Catalyst switches in the wiring closet, and the distribution layers for enterprise branch office deployments.
