If you’re in need of a business grade switch, my recommendation as of recent, has been this Cisco Business switch. My favorite aspect is there’s no need to pay for a recurring cloud license with this switch. This makes it perfect for smaller businesses with less than 10 offices or stations (each with a VOIP device and workstation).
