Layer23-Switch has specialized in new Cisco hardware since 2014. With annual sales above US$25 million, we supply Cisco, Fortinet, Juniper and HPE Aruba equipment to more than 5,000 customers in over 100 countries.

We invest in our own stock. US$9M+ of factory-sealed hardware sits in 1,000 m² of warehouse space, so most orders ship the next business day instead of waiting weeks on factory lead times.

Our team of 25 includes 4 CCIE engineers who review every project quotation, so the switches, optics, power supplies and licenses you order work together on day one.
