Support services available from Progent's network engineers include:

  • Mac OS X Support Services
    Progent's Apple Mac OS X online consulting services address a broad array of information technology including system infrastructure, messaging solutions, system and process security, Apple Mac OS X and Windows coexistence, VMware technologies for server hardware consolidation and simplified management, and transitioning from legacy systems to Windows or Linux-based solutions. Progent's team-oriented approach to resolving technical issues enables quick escalation, when required, to engineers with appropriate expertise to tackle complex situations. This accelerates repair of urgent problems, reduces network downtime, and lowers service expense.

    Progent's Mac OS X support engineers can provide emergency online help diagnosing anomalies within UNIX/Linux networks powered by popular derivatives of UNIX such as: Apple Mac OS X, Sun Solaris, IBM AIX Open UNIX, HP-UX (Hewlett Packard UNIX), Berkeley UNIX (BSD), SCO UNIX and Silicon Graphics IRIX (SGI/IRIX) or major Linux variants such as RedHat Linux, SUSE, Debian GNU/Linux and CentOS, Ubuntu Linux, Mandriva, PCLOS, fedora Linux, and Gentoo Linux.

  • Qualified Cisco Engineers
    The CCIE (Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert) certification is the top recognition for networking professionals, and indicates that an individual's technical skill ranks at the master level. CCIEs can resolve even the most complex problems associated with network design, integration, management, protection, and troubleshooting. CCIEs operate with the highest priority with Cisco's internal engineers in isolating anomalies with IOS Software network management tools and, if necessary, coming up with alternate approaches or obtaining software patches to fix problems. CCIEs represent an exceptional value since their depth of experience allows them to solve the most intractable problems rapidly. In many cases, less seasoned engineers can struggle for hours or days with the same tasks that CCIEs can fix in a few minutes.

    Progent is one of the few service organizations that makes CCIEs available to help small and mid-size businesses. Progent offers quick access to a CCIE by phone so that you can receive immediate support for urgent network problems that are hurting worker productivity but are outside the experience of your local network support providers. Progent's CCIE engineers can tie into your network by means of state-of-the-art on-line support technology in order to provide fast and economical analysis and repair of critical system problems.
