Cisco Certified Network Consultants

Data centers are the focal point of utilizing IT assets to maximize the business value of a computer network. For small organizations, data centers have typically evolved in a haphazard manner, creating a situation where servers and storage devices are underutilized, available communications capacity is overlooked, teamwork and information sharing is limited, maintenance demands are excessive, scaling or reconfiguring is expensive, security is patchy, seemingly simple changes turn into giant hassles, and full recovery from disastrous breakdowns becomes virtually undoable.

Cisco's most recent network appliances and technologies enable a new model of data center design that permits ongoing improvements in processor, storage, connectivity infrastructure, and application technologies in a manageable and cost-effective way. Progent's Cisco-certified professionals can help you to select and implement Cisco's connectivity technology to create a solid basis for your data center and to streamline your data center processes in vital areas including:

• Server and storage efficiency
• Comprehensive security enforcement
• Processor proliferation
• Regulatory compliance
• Disaster recovery

The key benefits that can be realized from engaging Progent's Cisco-certified experts to optimize your data center include:

• Reduced costs: allows IT management to significantly reduce acquisition expenses via integration and more efficient utilization of formerly separate equipment, lower maintenance expenses by streamlining and automating administrative jobs, and cut HVAC and energy bills.
• Greater Business Flexibility: permits IT management to respond quickly to evolving competitive conditions by allowing rapid provisioning of application and network functions from common pools of consolidated processor, storage, and connectivity resources. This helps improve administrative processes and support policy-driven control.
• Better Business Resilience: allows IT to defend against breakdowns or intrusions by safeguarding infrastructure, applications, and information through advanced degrees of fault tolerance, pervasive protection, and business continuance.
• Improved Service Levels: allows 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 across the organization.
