The Cisco® Small Business Series of secure broadband routers addresses the needs of small businesses, providing affordable, easy-to-use, and secure broadband access for data-only applications. Setup is simple with Web-based tools and remote management is possible with features in Cisco IOS® Software that allow value-added resellers or service providers to centrally manage the routers. The Cisco Small Business Series gives small business customers a new option from Cisco---secure, managed Internet access at an affordable price.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Cisco Small Business Series secure broadband routers are fixed-configuration, small-office routers that support up to five users (Figure 1). They provide the required performance to run basic, secure services in small offices, including firewall and support for Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)-based VPNs (Figure 2). In addition, an easy-to-use configuration tool, Cisco Router and Security Device Manager (SDM), allows nontechnical users to quickly set up the router and its firewall configuration (Figure 3), while remote management capabilities in Cisco IOS Software facilitate easy deployment and centralized management for service providers or value-added resellers.
The Cisco Small Business 100 Series of secure broadband routers provides:
• An affordable Cisco router for data-only applications in small businesses offices with up to five users
• Asymmetric DSL (ADSL), ADSL over ISDN, or an Ethernet WAN interface with a 4-port 10/100 switch
• Secure connectivity with integrated stateful firewall
• Simple setup and remote management capabilities of Cisco IOS Software

APPLICATIONS
The Cisco Small Business 100 Series is best suited for deployment in small businesses, recommended for up to five users per site connecting to the Internet, and for multiple-site connectivity through MPLS-based VPNs. These types of offices can include small business professionals such as insurance agents, lawyer offices, or consultants that use data-driven applications. The integrated firewall provides essential security when connecting to the Internet. For simple multiple-site connectivity, users can take advantage of MPLS-based VPN networks.
The Cisco Small Business 100 Series is ideal for managed services---service providers and value-added resellers can use the centralized management features with the router as a platform to offer differentiated security services to small business customers.
