Cisco Network Consultants

Data centers are the key to leveraging IT resources to maximize the strategic value of a computer network. For small organizations, data centers have typically evolved in a haphazard fashion, resulting in a situation where processors and storage devices are deployed inefficiently, available communications capacity is overlooked, teamwork and knowledge sharing is limited, maintenance demands are high, scaling or reconfiguring is costly, protection is poor, nominally simple modifications turn into giant challenges, and complete recovery from catastrophic breakdowns becomes almost impossible.

Cisco's most recent networking products and tools support a new model of data center architecture that permits ongoing improvements in server, storage, network topology, and applications in a maintainable and affordable way. Progent's Cisco-certified professionals can assist you to identify and deploy Cisco's connectivity solutions to build a solid basis for your data center and to streamline your data center processes in vital areas including:

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

The business benefits that can be realized as a result of engaging Progent's Cisco-certified consultants to enhance your data center include:

• Lower ownership cost: enables IT management to substantially reduce capital expenses through consolidation and more efficient utilization of previously separate network resources, slash operational costs through simplifying and automating administrative tasks, and cut cooling and power bills.
• Greater Business Agility: enables IT management to react dynamically to evolving business demands by allowing rapid provisioning of application and infrastructure services from common aggregations of consolidated server, disk, and network technologies. This helps streamline administrative processes and support policy-driven management.
• Enhanced Business Robustness: allows IT to defend against disruptions or intrusions by guarding connections, programs, and information with the highest degrees of fault tolerance, pervasive protection, and disaster recovery.
• Optimized Service Levels: permits IT management to optimize network service levels by implementing secure, fast connectivity to data center-resident applications and information from any location and at any time across the enterprise.
