Cisco Expert Network Consulting and Support

Data centers are the key to utilizing information technology resources to optimize the competitive value of an information system. For small businesses, data centers have typically grown in a piecemeal manner, resulting in a situation where servers and storage devices are deployed inefficiently, usable communications bandwidth is wasted, teamwork and knowledge sharing is limited, maintenance demands are excessive, expansion or repurposing is costly, protection is patchy, seemingly minor changes turn into giant challenges, and complete recovery from catastrophic failure becomes virtually undoable.

Cisco's latest network devices and technologies enable a new model of data center architecture that allows ongoing enhancements in processor, storage, network topology, and applications in a maintainable and economical way. Progent's engineers can help you to identify and deploy Cisco's connectivity solutions to create a solid foundation for your data center and to streamline your data center operations in vital areas including:

• Server and storage efficiency
• End-to-end security policy enforcement
• Processor consolidation
• Regulatory compliance
• Disaster recovery

The business benefits that can be realized as a result of using Progent's network experts to streamline your data center include:

• Reduced ownership cost: permits IT management to significantly lower acquisition costs through integration and more efficient utilization of previously isolated equipment, slash maintenance costs by streamlining and automating management jobs, and cut HVAC and power bills.
• Greater Business Flexibility: enables IT to react dynamically to evolving business demands by allowing rapid deployment of application and network functions from common pools of integrated processor, storage, and connectivity resources. This helps streamline administrative processes and enable policy-driven control.
