Cisco Certified Expert Network Consultants

Data centers are the focal point of leveraging information technology resources to optimize the business value of an IT network. For small companies, data centers have typically grown in a haphazard manner, creating a situation where processors and disks are underutilized, usable communications capacity is overlooked, teamwork and information sharing is minimal, support requirements are high, expansion or repurposing is expensive, security is poor, seemingly minor changes become major challenges, and full recovery from disastrous breakdowns becomes almost undoable.

Cisco's most recent networking appliances and tools enable a new generation of data center design that permits continual improvements in server, storage, connectivity infrastructure, and application technologies in a manageable and cost-effective way. Progent's consultants can help you to identify and implement Cisco's connectivity solutions to build a solid basis for your data center and to improve your operations in critical areas such as:

• Server and disk utilization
• Comprehensive security policy enforcement
• Processor consolidation
• Regulatory requirements
• Disaster recovery

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

• Reduced TCO: allows IT management to substantially cut capital expenses via consolidation and higher use of previously isolated network resources, lower maintenance costs by streamlining and automating management tasks, and cut air conditioning and power bills.
• Greater Business Flexibility: permits IT management to react dynamically to evolving business demands by facilitating rapid provisioning of application and network functions from common aggregations of consolidated processor, storage, and network technologies. This can improve operational processes and support policy-based management.
• Enhanced Business Robustness: allows IT to respond to breakdowns or attacks by safeguarding connections, applications, and information with advanced degrees of availability, pervasive security, and business continuance.
• Optimized Service Levels: permits IT management to improve network service levels by providing secure, fast access to data center-hosted applications and information from any place and at any time throughout the organization.
