Cisco Network Consultants

Data centers are the focal point of utilizing information technology assets to maximize the competitive value of an IT network. For small organizations, data centers have often grown in a piecemeal fashion, creating a situation where processors and storage devices are deployed inefficiently, usable communications capacity is wasted, collaboration and knowledge sharing is limited, support demands are excessive, expansion or reconfiguring is expensive, security is patchy, seemingly simple changes become giant hassles, and complete recovery from disastrous failure is virtually undoable.

Cisco's latest network appliances and tools enable a new model of data center architecture that permits ongoing enhancements in processor, storage, network topology, and application technologies in a manageable and affordable way. Progent's Cisco-certified professionals can assist you to select and deploy Cisco's connectivity products to create a solid basis for your data center and to streamline your operations in vital areas including:
