Progent’s system professionals have the depth of background to offer expertise in an array of networking technologies and architectures. Progent’s Apple macOS and OS X experts can assist your company to benefit from Open Directory, Apple’s open-systems directory and network validation services platform. Open Directory relies on proven open source technologies such as Open Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and Kerberos for transparent interoperability with other standards-based LDAP servers. Progent’s expertise with Windows and other networking technology can help you plug into Microsoft’s proprietary Active Directory. If your network deploys a mix of Apple macOS and OS X, Windows, and Linux/UNIX based-resources, Progent can assist you to set up and administer a single directory rather than a different directory or different client records for each operating system. Your clients will be able to shift effortlessly between macOS and OS X and MS Windows computers — and still gain authenticated single log-in access to directory-based system and network resources.
- Voice over IP Integration
Voice over IP refers to telephony technology that sends voice communications over a connection based on IP standards. Progent's certified engineers are skilled in a variety of Voice over IP platforms, such as devices and applications built around Cisco's AVVID architecture. Progent can provide a Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert or Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) to help you to deploy Cisco VoIP solutions. Progent can assess your existing network infrastructure to determine if your environment is optimized to support VoIP, help you to identify and configure Cisco hardware and software that fit with your present requirements and future growth plans, and integrate your Cisco Voice over IP (VoIP) solution with products from other suppliers.
- Apple Computer Xserve Servers, Xserve Fault-Tolerant Disk Array, and Xsan Storage Area Network Technology
Progent’s substantial background with the UNIX operating system in commercial environments allows Progent to provide consulting services for Apple's Xserve platform that lets you maximize the competitive value of your Mac system. Apple’s Xserve is powered by the macOS and Mac OS X Server, the UNIX operating system based on standards-based network services. Mac Server offers cross-platform capability for file sharing, plus Apache web serve, IMAP mail, ftp, DNS and DHCP. Xserve RAID offers economical, large-capacity Ultra ATA disk technology with an industry standard 2Gb Fibre Channel for high-performance, fault-tolerant access. Xserve RAID runs with macOS and OS X Server, Microsoft Windows servers, or Linux servers and permits network users to share up to 2 petabytes (2PB) of files and volumes. A Storage Area Network (SAN) enables you to transfer data over multiple RAID drives for better throughput, giving each user access to shared data via a high-speed Fibre Channel network.

Progent can in addition help you to develop a wireless security strategy that aligns with the protection plan for your entire business network. In addition, Progent can show you how to design, configure, and maintain point-to-point/multipoint bridges that give you an affordable means to incorporate multiple buildings into a cohesive network.
