Cisco Expert Network Consultants

Data centers are the focal point of utilizing information technology assets to optimize the strategic value of an IT network. For small companies, data centers have often evolved in a haphazard manner, creating a state where processors and storage devices are underutilized, usable communications capacity is overlooked, teamwork and information sharing is limited, support demands are excessive, scaling or repurposing is expensive, security is poor, seemingly minor changes turn into giant challenges, and full recovery from catastrophic breakdowns is virtually undoable.

Cisco's most recent networking products and technologies support a new generation of data center architecture that allows ongoing improvements in processor, storage, network topology, and applications in a maintainable and economical way. Progent's Cisco-certified professionals can help you to identify and deploy Cisco's connectivity solutions to create a robust foundation for your data center and to improve your data center operations in critical areas such as:

• Server and disk utilization
• End-to-end security enforcement
• Processor proliferation
• Regulatory requirements
• Disaster recovery

The key benefits that can be realized from engaging Progent's network consultants to enhance your data center include:

• Reduced total cost of ownership: enables IT management to substantially cut capital expenses through consolidation and higher use of formerly separate equipment, slash maintenance expenses by streamlining and automating management tasks, and cut air conditioning and power bills.
• More Business Agility: enables IT to respond quickly to changing competitive conditions by allowing rapid provisioning of application and infrastructure functions from common pools of consolidated server, storage, and network resources. This helps streamline administrative procedures and enable policy-based management.
• Enhanced Business Resilience: allows IT management to react to disruptions or attacks by safeguarding connections, applications, and data with the highest degrees of fault tolerance, pervasive security, and business continuance.
• Improved Service Levels: enables IT to optimize business service levels by providing secure, accelerated connectivity to data center-resident applications and information from any location and at any moment across the enterprise.
