How to Get Started with Cisco SBA
Cisco® Smart Business Architecture (SBA) helps you design and quickly deploy
a full-service business network. A Cisco SBA deployment is prescriptive, out-ofthe-box, scalable, and flexible.
Cisco SBA incorporates LAN, WAN, wireless, security, data center, application
optimization, and collaboration technologies—tested together as a complete
system. This component-level approach simplifies the system integration
of multiple technologies, allowing you to select the solutions that solve your
organization’s problems—without worrying about the technical complexity.
Guiding Principles
Cisco SBA is based on requirements gathered from customers, partners, and
Cisco field personnel. Cisco then thoroughly lab-test these solutions to ensure
your success.

Getting Started with Cisco SBA
Cisco SBA designs for Borderless Networks, Data Center, and Collaboration
scale seamlessly up to 10,000 connected users, for all markets. As your
organization grows and evolves, you’re able to move from one deployment to
another—all with the latest Cisco technology.
Use the maps on the following pages to choose from the deployment, design,
and reference guides. The maps show general relationships and dependencies
among the Cisco SBA guides. Specific dependencies are cited in the guides
where they are most relevant.

Cisco SBA is built upon three interdependent layers:
•D
eployment guides describe Cisco SBA foundations and the steps for their
deployment.
•The network foundation is the key building block of Cisco SBA and provides
the infrastructure on which all other services and applications rely.
•A
dditional deployment guides describe add-on components and how to build
them upon Cisco SBA foundations. • Network services make Cisco SBA valuable to those using it and provide
customization to your network environment even if you use standards-based
devices.
•User services provide end users with services like voice and video, which help
them be more productive.

Cisco SBA System Map
Similar to a local subway map, the Cisco SBA system map helps convey the routes to where
you want to go. With Cisco SBA, the map leads to successful network deployments—through
essential design overviews that connect you to foundational deployment guides, enabling
your arrival at the additional deployment guides that solve an operational issue for your
organization. Regardless of where you fall within the scope of Cisco SBA, you can achieve
your network deployment goals by reading each of the guides along your chosen route.
