Cisco Network Consultants

Data centers are the focal point of utilizing IT assets to maximize the business value of an IT network. For small companies, data centers have often evolved in a haphazard fashion, creating a situation where servers and disks are deployed inefficiently, usable communications capacity is wasted, collaboration and knowledge sharing is limited, support requirements are excessive, scaling or repurposing is expensive, security is poor, nominally simple changes turn into major hassles, and full recovery from disastrous breakdowns is almost impossible.

Cisco's most recent network devices and technologies enable a new generation of data center architecture that permits ongoing enhancements in processor, storage, connectivity topology, and application technologies in a manageable and economical way. Progent's consultants can help you to select and deploy Cisco's network technology to create a solid foundation for your data center and to improve your data center processes in vital areas including:

• Server and storage utilization
• End-to-end security policy enforcement
• Processor proliferation
• Regulatory issues
• Disaster recovery

The business advantages that can accrue as a result of using Progent's network consultants to enhance your data center include:

• Reduced TCO: allows IT management to substantially cut acquisition costs via integration and higher utilization of previously isolated network resources, lower maintenance expenses by streamlining and automating management jobs, and reduce cooling and power bills.
• More Business Agility: enables IT to respond quickly to changing competitive conditions by allowing fast provisioning of application and network services from shared pools of integrated processor, disk, and network resources. This helps improve operational processes and enable policy-driven management.
• Enhanced Network Resilience: allows IT to respond to disruptions or intrusions by guarding connections, applications, and information through the highest levels of availability, comprehensive security, and disaster recovery.
• Improved Service Levels: enables IT to improve business service levels by providing safe, accelerated access to data center-hosted applications and data from any location and at any moment throughout the organization.
