Cisco Certified Network Consulting and Support

Data centers are the focal point of utilizing IT resources to optimize the business value of an IT network. For small companies, data centers have typically grown in a haphazard fashion, resulting in a state where servers and storage devices are deployed inefficiently, available communications bandwidth is wasted, collaboration and knowledge sharing is minimal, support requirements are excessive, scaling or reconfiguring is costly, security is poor, seemingly simple changes become giant challenges, and full recovery from catastrophic breakdowns becomes virtually impossible.

Cisco's latest connectivity appliances and technologies enable a new model of data center architecture that permits continual enhancements in processor, storage, connectivity topology, and applications in a maintainable and economical way. Progent's Cisco-certified professionals can help you to select and implement Cisco's network technology to build a solid foundation for your data center and to streamline your data center processes in critical areas including:

• Processor and storage utilization
• Comprehensive security enforcement
• Processor consolidation
• Regulatory issues
• Disaster recovery

The important advantages that can accrue from engaging Progent's Cisco-certified consultants to optimize your data center include:

• Lower total cost of ownership: permits IT management to substantially lower capital costs via integration and more efficient use of previously separate equipment, slash operational expenses through simplifying and automating management tasks, and reduce air conditioning and energy costs.
• More Business Flexibility: permits IT management to react dynamically to evolving competitive conditions by facilitating fast deployment of application and infrastructure functions from shared pools of consolidated processor, storage, and connectivity resources. This can streamline administrative procedures and enable policy-driven control.
• Better Network Resilience: enables IT to defend against disruptions or intrusions by safeguarding infrastructure, applications, and information with advanced degrees of fault tolerance, pervasive protection, and disaster recovery.
• Optimized Service Levels: enables IT management to improve business service levels by implementing safe, fast access to data center-resident applications and data from any place and at any moment across the organization.
