Cisco Certified Expert Network Consulting and Support

Data centers are the key to leveraging information technology assets to optimize the strategic value of an information system. For small companies, data centers have typically evolved in a piecemeal fashion, resulting in a state where servers and storage devices are deployed inefficiently, usable communications bandwidth is overlooked, teamwork and knowledge sharing is minimal, maintenance demands are excessive, scaling or repurposing is costly, protection is poor, nominally minor changes turn into giant challenges, and complete recovery from disastrous failure is almost impossible.

Cisco's latest networking products and technologies support a new generation of data center design that permits ongoing improvements in server, storage, network topology, and application technologies in a maintainable and economical way. Progent's Cisco-certified professionals can help you to select and implement Cisco's connectivity technology to build a robust basis for your data center and to improve your operations in critical areas such as:

• Server and storage utilization
• End-to-end security enforcement
• Server proliferation
• Regulatory compliance
• Disaster recovery

The business benefits that can accrue from using Progent's Cisco-certified consultants to streamline your data center include:

• Reduced ownership cost: permits IT to significantly cut acquisition costs through integration and higher utilization of previously isolated equipment, slash operational costs through simplifying and automating administrative tasks, and reduce air conditioning and power bills.
• Greater Business Agility: enables IT management to respond quickly to evolving business conditions by facilitating rapid provisioning of application and network functions from common pools of consolidated server, disk, and network technologies. This helps streamline operational procedures and support policy-based control.
• Better Network Resilience: enables IT management to respond to disruptions or intrusions by guarding infrastructure, applications, and data through advanced levels of availability, comprehensive security, and disaster recovery.
• Improved Service Levels: allows IT to optimize network service levels by providing secure, fast connectivity to data center-resident applications and data from any place and at any moment throughout the organization.
