Cisco Embedded Service Switch
The Cisco Embedded Service Switch (ESS) extends switching capabilities to mobile and embedded networks that operate in extreme environments. The flexible, compact form factor of the switch, powered by Cisco IOS ® Software, provides highly secure data, voice, and video communications to stationary and mobile network nodes, making it ideal for Internet of Things applications. It solves critical size, weight, and power challenges inherent in mobile environments and gives partners and integrators the ability to fully customize the ruggedized enclosures required for their customers.
The Cisco ESS 2020 is available in a base card-only configuration (8 Fast Ethernet + 2 Gigabit Ethernet) or with an optional expansion card capable of providing 16 additional Fast Ethernet ports. Its board size conforms to the widely accepted PC104 form factor (approximately 4" x 4"). Typical power usage is 10W for all 26 ports.
Who Needs Cisco ESS?
The Cisco ESS is essential for many vertical industries that have requirements such as:
? High port density in a small form factor
? Portability
? Low power consumption
? Ability to operate in harsh environments
