Cisco Network Consultants

Data centers are the key to leveraging information technology resources to maximize the competitive value of an IT network. For small companies, data centers have typically grown in a piecemeal manner, creating a situation where servers and disks are underutilized, usable communications capacity is overlooked, teamwork and information sharing is minimal, maintenance requirements are high, scaling or repurposing is expensive, protection is poor, nominally minor modifications become giant hassles, and complete recovery from catastrophic breakdowns becomes virtually impossible.

Cisco's latest network appliances and tools support a new model of data center architecture that allows continual improvements in server, storage, connectivity infrastructure, and application technologies in a manageable and cost-effective way. Progent's consultants can help you to select and implement Cisco's connectivity solutions to build a solid basis for your data center and to streamline your data center operations in critical areas including:

• Processor and storage utilization
• Comprehensive security policy enforcement
• Server consolidation
• Regulatory requirements
• Business continuance

The business benefits that can accrue as a result of engaging Progent's Cisco-certified experts to optimize your data center include:

• Reduced TCO: allows IT management to substantially reduce capital costs via integration and higher use of formerly isolated network resources, lower maintenance costs by streamlining and automating administrative jobs, and cut cooling and energy bills.
• More Business Flexibility: permits IT management to react dynamically to changing business demands by allowing fast provisioning of application and network services from common aggregations of consolidated server, disk, and network technologies. This can streamline operational procedures and enable policy-driven control.
• Enhanced Network Robustness: enables IT management to react to breakdowns or intrusions by safeguarding connections, applications, and information with advanced degrees of availability, comprehensive security, and business continuance.
• Optimized Service Levels: enables IT to improve business service levels by providing secure, accelerated access to data center-resident applications and information from anywhere and at any moment across the organization.
