Cisco Certified Expert Network Consulting and Support

Data centers are the focal point of utilizing information technology assets to maximize the strategic value of an IT network. For small companies, data centers have typically evolved in a piecemeal manner, resulting in a state where processors and disks are deployed inefficiently, usable communications bandwidth is overlooked, teamwork and knowledge sharing is minimal, maintenance demands are high, scaling or reconfiguring is expensive, protection is poor, seemingly minor changes turn into major challenges, and complete recovery from disastrous failure is virtually undoable.

Cisco's most recent networking products and tools enable a new generation of data center architecture that permits continual enhancements in server, storage, network topology, and applications in a maintainable and cost-effective way. Progent's consultants can assist you to select and deploy Cisco's network solutions to create a solid foundation for your data center and to streamline your data center processes in vital areas such as:

• Processor and disk utilization
• Comprehensive security enforcement
• Processor proliferation
• Regulatory compliance
• Disaster recovery

The key advantages that can be realized from using Progent's network consultants to enhance your data center include:

• Reduced costs: allows IT management to substantially reduce capital costs through consolidation and higher use of previously separate network resources, slash operational expenses by streamlining and automating administrative tasks, and reduce cooling and power costs.
• Greater Business Flexibility: enables IT to react quickly to evolving competitive conditions by facilitating rapid provisioning of application and network services from shared pools of integrated server, disk, and connectivity resources. This can streamline operational procedures and support policy-based control.
• Better Business Resilience: enables IT management to respond to disruptions or intrusions by guarding connections, programs, and data with the highest degrees of fault tolerance, comprehensive protection, and business continuance.
• Improved Service Levels: permits IT management to optimize network service levels by providing secure, accelerated access to data center-hosted applications and information from any location and at any time throughout the organization.
