Small Business Switches

Small business switches are designed to connect multiple devices, such as servers, computers, and printers, within a local area network (LAN) in a small business environment. These networking devices facilitate data flow between devices, ensuring optimal performance and effective communication. At VERSITRON, we offer networking switches that help businesses to improve their network performance, security, and reliability. We offer small managed switches as well as unmanaged devices with ports for PoE, fiber, and RJ45 cables to connect to various devices on the network in a reliable fashion.

Types of Network Switches for Small Businesses We Offer

VERSITRON provides a wide range of managed, unmanaged, and power over Ethernet (PoE) switches. These switches meet the networking needs of small to medium-sized businesses, offering reliability, flexibility, and scalability to improve network performance and support efficient communication across devices.

  • Managed Switches: These are smart switches that function on their own. We offer managed commercial, industrial, as well as PoE switches. They come with RJ45, SFP, and PoE port slots and establish connectivity between two or more devices regardless of their location. Managed switches have advanced security features such as VLANs, access control lists, and more, and offer good control of the network operations. While these are typically meant for big networks, we offer affordable managed switches for small businesses with functionalities for entry-level networking for enterprise applications. VERSITRON’s SG71090A 3 slot managed modular switch chassis provides up to 24 ports for copper, 24 ports for fiber, or a combination of both. This versatile switch can be used in 100BaseFX multimode, 100BaseFX single mode, 1000Base Gigabit SFP, and more.
    Also, we offer a variety of Layer 2+ (L2+) managed Ethernet switches that support PoE/PoE+ capability for powering cameras, IP phones, and wireless access points for Wi-Fi connectivity, which is also an integral part of small businesses. These come with advanced features such as static routing, DHCP server, improved VLAN management, Quality of Service (QoS), and more to prioritize traffic types, advanced network segmentation, and access control lists (ACL).

  • Unmanaged Switches: Their basic and simple plug-and-play simplicity features make them economical, and easy to use and maintain. These switches we offer usually have anything from 4 to 10 ports and this number can be customized based on specific requirements. These switches have both RJ45 and SFP ports. While unmanaged switches are typically meant for small businesses or home networks, we also offer devices for industrial use. They are designed for harsh operating environments, functioning in operating temperatures from -40°C to 80°C, and ensure high-speed data transfer and seamless connectivity in industrial networks.

How to Choose the Right SMB Switch? 

VERSITRON offers a vast variety of switches and with custom options. We offer the technical assistance required for installation, use, maintenance, and more. While we analyze your requirements and offer you the right type of switch, here are some tips for selecting the best network switch for small businesses.

  • Business requirements: It is crucial to consider your business requirements in terms of the frequency and volume of data transfer you need, file size and the frequency of sending bulky files, geographical presence of the business, its vendors, and stakeholders and hence the distance the data packets need to travel, current network capacity, budget, and more.
  • Network size and complexity: A lot depends on the size of your network and the number of devices connected to it. Based on that you can decide the type of switch, such as the number of ports, types of ports such as fiber and RJ45, PoE requirements, and so on. We offer fiber optic switches with varied sizes ranging from 4 to 52 ports and beyond.
  • Managed switches for small business: Unlike unmanaged devices, managed switches function on autopilot mode and allow for VLAN creation. Unmanaged switches are more than sufficient for most small- and mid-sized networks.
  • Power over Ethernet (PoE) requirements: PoE switches enable the transfer of data and power over a single cable. This is useful if you have PoE devices on the network, such as VoIP phones, IOT devices, or IP cameras, so that you can eliminate the use of external electrical supplies for these devices. This is also useful if your network passes through regions cut off from the electric grid or face frequent power outages.
  • Stackable or standalone switches: Stackable switches are a great option if your business and the network is expanding. This term stackable implies switches as a stack, which means you need to configure an entire stack. If even one switch or part fails, the stack routes it to the next switch and the network functioning continues. On the other hand, standalone switches have limited capacity and if you plan to expand your network, you will need to add those many switches separately into the network.
  • Security features: Data security is an important aspect of any network, and hence, the switch must have robust security features such as VLANs, access control lists, use of secure protocols such as SNMP, and more. Most of our switches have port-based 802.1Q Tag-Based VLAN
