Cisco Certified Expert Network Consultants

Data centers are the key to leveraging IT resources to maximize the business value of an information system. For small companies, data centers have typically evolved in a haphazard fashion, creating a state where servers and disks are deployed inefficiently, usable communications bandwidth is wasted, collaboration and information sharing is minimal, maintenance demands are excessive, scaling or repurposing is costly, security is poor, nominally simple modifications turn into major challenges, and complete recovery from disastrous failure is virtually undoable.

Cisco's latest network appliances and tools enable a new generation of data center architecture that allows ongoing enhancements in server, storage, network infrastructure, and application technologies in a maintainable and affordable way. Progent's consultants can assist you to select and deploy Cisco's connectivity technology to build a robust foundation for your data center and to improve your operations in critical areas such as:

• Processor and storage efficiency
• End-to-end security policy enforcement
• Processor proliferation
• Regulatory issues
• Business continuance

The business advantages that can accrue from engaging Progent's network consultants to streamline your data center include:

• Reduced TCO: permits IT management to substantially cut capital expenses via integration and higher use of formerly isolated equipment, lower maintenance costs through streamlining and automating management jobs, and reduce cooling and power costs.
• Greater Business Agility: enables IT management to react dynamically to changing business conditions by allowing rapid deployment of application and network functions from shared aggregations of consolidated processor, storage, and network technologies. This helps improve operational procedures and enable policy-driven management.
• Better Network Resilience: enables IT management to respond to breakdowns or attacks by guarding infrastructure, applications, and data with the highest levels of fault tolerance, comprehensive security, and disaster recovery.
• Optimized Service Levels: allows IT management to optimize network service levels by implementing safe, accelerated connectivity to data center-hosted applications and data from anywhere and at any time throughout the enterprise.
