Cisco Certified Network Consulting

Data centers are the key to utilizing information technology assets to optimize the strategic value of an IT network. For small organizations, data centers have typically evolved in a haphazard fashion, resulting in a situation where servers and storage devices are deployed inefficiently, available communications capacity is overlooked, collaboration and information sharing is minimal, maintenance demands are high, scaling or repurposing is expensive, security is patchy, seemingly simple modifications turn into giant hassles, and full recovery from catastrophic failure is almost impossible.

Cisco's latest network devices and technologies enable a new generation of data center architecture that allows continual improvements in server, storage, network infrastructure, and application technologies in a maintainable and economical way. Progent's engineers can assist you to identify and deploy Cisco's network solutions to build a robust foundation for your data center and to streamline your operations in vital areas such as:

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

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

• Lower ownership cost: allows IT management to substantially cut capital expenses through consolidation and higher use of formerly isolated network resources, lower maintenance costs through simplifying and automating management jobs, and reduce HVAC and power bills.
• More Business Agility: enables IT management to respond dynamically to changing competitive demands by allowing rapid provisioning of application and infrastructure services from shared pools of consolidated server, storage, and network technologies. This helps improve operational processes and enable policy-driven management.
• Better Business Robustness: allows IT to respond to breakdowns or attacks by guarding infrastructure, programs, and data with advanced levels of fault tolerance, pervasive security, and disaster recovery.
• Improved Service Levels: enables IT to improve network service levels by providing safe, fast access to data center-hosted applications and data from any place and at any time throughout the organization.
