Cisco Certified Network Consulting and Support

Data centers are the focal point of leveraging IT assets to maximize the business value of a computer network. For small organizations, data centers have typically evolved in a haphazard fashion, creating a situation where processors and storage devices are deployed inefficiently, available communications capacity is wasted, teamwork and knowledge sharing is minimal, support demands are high, expansion or repurposing is expensive, protection is patchy, nominally simple modifications turn into major challenges, and full recovery from catastrophic failure becomes virtually impossible.

Cisco's latest connectivity products and technologies support a new generation of data center architecture that permits continual enhancements in processor, storage, network infrastructure, and applications in a manageable and economical way. Progent's engineers can assist you to identify and deploy Cisco's connectivity technology to build a solid basis for your data center and to improve your data center processes in vital areas such as:

• Processor and disk utilization
• End-to-end security policy enforcement
• Processor consolidation
• Regulatory issues
• Disaster recovery

The key advantages that can be realized from using Progent's network consultants to streamline your data center include:

• Reduced costs: enables IT management to significantly lower acquisition expenses through consolidation and more efficient use of previously separate network resources, slash maintenance costs through simplifying and automating management jobs, and cut air conditioning and power bills.
• Greater Business Agility: permits IT management to respond dynamically to changing competitive conditions by allowing fast deployment of application and infrastructure services from shared aggregations of consolidated server, disk, and network technologies. This helps improve administrative procedures and support policy-driven management.
• Better Network Robustness: enables IT management to defend against breakdowns or attacks by guarding infrastructure, applications, and information through advanced degrees of fault tolerance, pervasive security, and business continuance.
• Optimized Service Levels: permits IT management to improve business service levels by providing safe, accelerated connectivity to data center-hosted applications and information from anywhere and at any time throughout the organization.
