Cisco Certified Network Consulting

Data centers are the focal point of leveraging information technology resources to maximize the strategic value of an IT network. For small businesses, data centers have often evolved in a haphazard fashion, resulting in a situation where processors and storage devices are deployed inefficiently, available communications capacity is overlooked, teamwork and information sharing is limited, maintenance demands are excessive, expansion or reconfiguring is costly, protection is poor, nominally minor modifications turn into giant challenges, and full recovery from catastrophic failure is virtually impossible.

Cisco's most recent networking products and technologies support a new generation of data center architecture that permits ongoing improvements in processor, storage, connectivity topology, and application technologies in a manageable and economical way. Progent's consultants can help you to select and implement Cisco's connectivity technology to create a solid foundation for your data center and to streamline your operations in critical areas such as:

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

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

• Lower TCO: permits IT management to significantly cut capital expenses through consolidation and higher utilization of formerly separate equipment, slash operational expenses by streamlining and automating administrative tasks, and cut air conditioning and power bills.
• More Business Agility: enables IT management to react dynamically to changing business demands by allowing fast deployment of application and infrastructure services from common aggregations of consolidated server, disk, and connectivity resources. This can improve administrative processes and enable policy-driven management.
• Enhanced Business Resilience: enables IT management to react to disruptions or attacks by safeguarding infrastructure, programs, and data with advanced levels of availability, pervasive protection, and business continuance.
• Improved Service Levels: permits IT management to optimize business service levels by providing safe, fast connectivity to data center-resident applications and information from anywhere and at any time across the organization.
