Cisco Network Consulting and Support

Data centers are the focal point of utilizing IT resources to maximize the business value of a computer network. For small businesses, data centers have typically grown in a piecemeal manner, resulting in a situation where processors and disks are deployed inefficiently, usable communications capacity is overlooked, collaboration and knowledge sharing is minimal, support demands are high, expansion or repurposing is expensive, protection is patchy, nominally minor modifications turn into giant challenges, and full recovery from catastrophic failure is almost undoable.

Cisco's most recent networking appliances and technologies enable a new generation of data center design that allows ongoing improvements in server, storage, connectivity infrastructure, and application technologies in a manageable and affordable way. Progent's consultants can help you to select and implement Cisco's connectivity products to create a robust foundation for your data center and to streamline your data center operations in vital areas such as:

• Server and storage efficiency
• End-to-end security enforcement
• Processor consolidation
• Regulatory requirements
• Disaster recovery

The key advantages that can accrue from using Progent's Cisco-certified consultants to optimize your data center include:

• Lower total cost of ownership: permits IT management to significantly lower acquisition expenses via integration and higher utilization of formerly separate network resources, slash operational costs by streamlining and automating management tasks, and cut HVAC and power costs.
• More Business Agility: permits IT to respond dynamically to changing competitive demands by allowing fast provisioning of application and network services from common pools of consolidated server, storage, and connectivity resources. This helps streamline operational processes and enable policy-driven management.
• Better Business Resilience: allows IT management to respond to disruptions or intrusions by guarding connections, programs, and information with the highest levels of availability, pervasive protection, and business continuance.
• Improved Service Levels: enables IT management to improve business service levels by implementing safe, fast access to data center-hosted applications and data from anywhere and at any moment throughout the organization.
