Abstract

Struggling with the challenge of managing a growing number of telecommuters, mobile workers and small remote offices, the networks of mid-sized firms are going through a period of reinvention. Network planners in these firms are finding themselves purchasing and implementing decidedly "small business" network gear for their 7+ small remote sites and beef up the remote access capabilities of the corporate network hub.
