Expertise for Cisco-powered Data Centers
Data centers are the key to utilizing IT assets to optimize the business value of an IT network. For small businesses, data centers have typically evolved in a haphazard fashion, resulting in a state where servers and disks are underutilized, available communications capacity is overlooked, collaboration and information sharing is minimal, support requirements are high, expansion or repurposing is expensive, protection is poor, nominally simple modifications become major hassles, and full recovery from disastrous breakdowns becomes virtually impossible.
Cisco's latest network devices and technologies enable a new model of data center design that permits continual enhancements in processor, storage, network topology, and application technologies in a maintainable and economical way. Progent's engineers can help you to select and implement Cisco's connectivity products to create a robust basis for your data center and to improve your data center processes in vital areas including:
- Processor and storage utilization
- Comprehensive security enforcement
- Processor consolidation
- Regulatory requirements
- Disaster recovery
The important benefits that can be realized from using Progent's Cisco-certified consultants to enhance your data center include:
- Reduced ownership cost: permits IT to substantially reduce capital costs through integration and higher utilization of formerly isolated network resources, slash operational costs by simplifying and automating administrative jobs, and cut cooling and power bills.
- Greater Business Flexibility: enables IT to respond quickly to changing business conditions by allowing fast deployment of application and network functions from common pools of integrated processor, storage, and network technologies. This can streamline operational processes and enable policy-driven management.
- Enhanced Network Resilience: enables IT management to react to breakdowns or attacks by protecting infrastructure, programs, and data with the highest degrees of fault tolerance, pervasive protection, and business continuance.
- Optimized Service Levels: permits IT management to improve business service levels by providing secure, accelerated connectivity to data center-resident applications and data from any location and at any time across the enterprise.
