Cisco Certified Expert Network Consulting and Support

Data centers are the key to utilizing information technology resources to optimize the competitive value of an information system. For small organizations, data centers have typically grown in a haphazard fashion, creating a situation where servers and disks are underutilized, usable communications bandwidth is overlooked, collaboration and knowledge sharing is limited, maintenance demands are high, expansion or repurposing is expensive, protection is patchy, seemingly simple modifications become major hassles, and full recovery from disastrous breakdowns becomes virtually impossible.

Cisco's latest connectivity products and tools enable a new generation of data center design that permits continual enhancements in server, storage, network infrastructure, and applications in a manageable and cost-effective way. Progent's engineers can assist you to select and implement Cisco's network technology to create a robust basis for your data center and to improve your operations in vital areas including:
