Cisco Expert Network Consultants

Data centers are the focal point of leveraging IT resources to optimize the business value of an information system. For small organizations, data centers have often evolved in a haphazard manner, creating a situation where processors and storage devices are underutilized, usable communications bandwidth is overlooked, collaboration and knowledge sharing is limited, support demands are excessive, expansion or repurposing is costly, protection is patchy, seemingly simple changes become giant hassles, and complete recovery from catastrophic breakdowns becomes almost impossible.

Cisco's most recent connectivity products and tools enable a new generation of data center architecture that allows continual enhancements in processor, storage, network infrastructure, and applications in a maintainable and affordable way. Progent's Cisco-certified professionals can help you to select and implement Cisco's network technology to create a solid foundation for your data center and to streamline your operations in critical areas such as:

• Processor and storage efficiency
• End-to-end security policy enforcement
• Server consolidation
• Regulatory compliance
• Business continuance

The key benefits that can be realized from engaging Progent's Cisco-certified consultants to streamline your data center include:

• Lower costs: enables IT management to substantially reduce capital expenses through integration and higher use of formerly isolated network resources, slash operational expenses through simplifying and automating management tasks, and cut HVAC and energy costs.
• Greater Business Flexibility: permits IT management to react quickly to evolving business demands by facilitating rapid deployment of application and infrastructure functions from shared pools of consolidated processor, storage, and connectivity technologies. This can improve administrative processes and enable policy-based control.
• Enhanced Network Resilience: enables IT to defend against breakdowns or intrusions by safeguarding connections, programs, and data with the highest levels of availability, comprehensive protection, and disaster recovery.
• Improved Service Levels: enables IT management to improve business service levels by implementing secure, fast connectivity to data center-resident applications and data from any place and at any time throughout the organization.
