Cisco Smart Business Architecture for Government
Government is tasked to educate, protect, and serve. Yet with multiple competing priorities, including budget constraints, data security, and citizen expectations, this can be a challenge. It is critical to deploy a systematic, thoughtful, and highly secure network approach that will:
- Help ensure continuity of government
- Avoid risk of downtime
- Eliminate complex configurations
- Avoid hardware or software faults
SBA for Government is designed to grow and evolve with your agency, providing a platform for deploying advanced technologies. Learn more about SBA for Government by reading this At-A-Glance and by viewing a video featuring Jennifer Geisler, Director of Government and Security Industry Marketing at Cisco.
About the SBA for Government System Map
Similar to a local subway map, Cisco developed the SBA system map to help convey where you are in your network journey, and the options for scaling to meet future requirements. Whether you are a midsize or large agency, we can help you achieve your networking goals with the appropriate system route and by using the prescriptive SBA guides. When leading network planning and investment discussions within your organization, use the system map as a strategic asset.
