Cisco Certified Network Consulting and Support

Data centers are the focal point of leveraging information technology assets to optimize the business value of an IT network. For small businesses, data centers have often grown in a haphazard fashion, creating a state where servers and disks are deployed inefficiently, available communications bandwidth is wasted, teamwork and information sharing is limited, support demands are high, expansion or repurposing is expensive, security is poor, seemingly simple changes become giant challenges, and complete recovery from catastrophic failure is almost impossible.

Cisco's latest networking devices and technologies support a new model of data center design that allows continual improvements in server, storage, network topology, and application technologies in a maintainable and affordable way. Progent's engineers can help you to select and deploy Cisco's connectivity technology to create a robust foundation for your data center and to streamline your data center processes in vital areas such as:

• Server and storage efficiency
• Comprehensive security policy enforcement
• Server consolidation
• Regulatory requirements
• Business continuance

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

• Lower TCO: allows IT to substantially cut acquisition expenses through integration and more efficient use of formerly separate network resources, lower operational costs through streamlining and automating administrative tasks, and cut air conditioning and energy bills.
• More Business Agility: enables IT to respond dynamically to changing competitive conditions by allowing fast deployment of application and infrastructure services from common pools of integrated processor, storage, and connectivity technologies. This helps improve administrative processes and enable policy-driven management.
• Enhanced Business Robustness: enables IT to react to breakdowns or intrusions by safeguarding infrastructure, programs, and data with the highest degrees of fault tolerance, pervasive security, and disaster recovery.
• Optimized Service Levels: permits IT to improve business service levels by implementing secure, accelerated access to data center-hosted applications and information from any place and at any time throughout the enterprise.
