• UNIX/Linux, Sun Solaris, and Mac OS X Expertise
  Progent's UNIX, Linux, Solaris, and Mac OS X remote support services address a wide range of computer technology including system infrastructure, email systems, system and operational security, UNIX and Microsoft Windows coexistence, virtual server products for server hardware economization and easy management, and migration from legacy systems to Microsoft Windows or Linux solutions. Progent's group-based methodology for solving technical issues enables quick escalation, if necessary, to consultants with task-relevant experience to handle complex situations. This accelerates repair of critical problems, reduces lost productivity, and cuts service expense.

  Progent's UNIX and Linux consultants can provide urgent online assistance analyzing problems affecting UNIX/Linux networks powered by popular derivatives of UNIX including: Apple Mac OS X, Solaris, IBM AIX Open UNIX, HP-UX, Berkeley UNIX (BSD), SCO and Silicon Graphics IRIX (SGI/IRIX) or major Linux variants such as RedHat Linux, SUSE, Debian GNU/Linux and CentOS Linux, Ubuntu Linux, Mandriva Linux, PCLlinuxOS, fedora Linux, and Gentoo.

• Qualified Cisco Engineers
  The CCIE credential is the premier recognition for networking consultants, and indicates an individual's technical knowledge at the master level. CCIEs can handle the most challenging problems surrounding network planning, integration, administration, protection, and troubleshooting. CCIEs work on a privileged basis with Cisco's internal support staff in identifying problems with IOS Software network administration utilities and coming up with alternate approaches or obtaining software updates to resolve problems. CCIEs represent an exceptional value because their depth of expertise enables them to fix the most complex problems rapidly. In common cases, less qualified consultants can struggle with the same problems for hours or days.

  Progent is one of the rare service organizations that makes CCIEs available to support small and mid-size businesses. Progent offers fast contact with a CCIE by telephone so that you can get timely help for urgent network problems that are impacting business productivity but are outside the scope of your ordinary IT maintenance resources. Progent's CCIE engineers can connect to your network using secure on-line support tools in order to perform quick and affordable diagnosis and repair of urgent system trouble.
