Network management tools assist companies to implement network infrastructure efficiently, look up client details rapidly, track system health, debug issues, defend against and respond to cyber attacks, and optimize responsiveness. Network management systems can help detect inefficient or inappropriate uses of network resources such as streaming media or peer-to-peer file sharing that can burn up bandwidth, lower employee output or leave you vulnerable to data leaks. A well planned network management solution can also assist organizations to make smart capacity planning moves by exposing tendencies in resource usage for various times or jos.

Cisco Meraki Dashboard Consultants

The Meraki Dashboard allows simplified cloud management for Cisco network appliances

Cisco has developed a diverse and growing portfolio of network management solutions that allow unified management for on-premises, cloud-based, or hybrid network models. With Cisco's later generation of security, switching, and Wi-Fi networking devices, you can choose among Meraki, DNA Center, or CLI management platforms for network management. For example, you can connect the latest Catalyst or Meraki switches and Catalyst or Meraki WiFi 6/6E APs to the Meraki dashboard to monitor and manage critical components of your IT infrastructure from the cloud. Progent's Catalyst WiFi AP experts, Cisco Meraki WiFi access point consulting experts, Catalyst switches consultants, and Meraki switches consulting experts can help you to design, implement and optimize a modern solution for network infrastructure monitoring and management.

Legacy Network Management Tools from Cisco and Others
Cisco Network Management Solutions ConsultingAn abundance of network management products from Cisco and other suppliers underscores the importance and difficulty of supporting IT infrastructure. Progent's Cisco-certified network management engineers are expert at assisting companies develop management strategies based on Simple Network Management Protocol, SYSLOG services, and Cisco Netflow protocols to build powerful tools for tracking network utilization and latency, viewing important router and switch operational characteristics, and identifying traffic patterns, applications, and appliances utilizing available services.

Progent can help customers to utilize a broad selection of open source and proprietary management products to maintain Cisco infrastructure. Utilities familiar to Progent's consultants include MRTG, Nagios, PRTG, Cisco Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM), Cisco Network Assistant, CiscoWorks, Cisco Security Manager, OpenView, Concord E-Health, AlterPoint DeviceAuthority, Adventnet Netflow, Big Brother, and Necordia NetMRI.

Network management platforms can help IT administrators to be aware of existing system utilization and effectively prepare for downstream capacity expansion. Network management tools can also be used to detect inefficient or improper utilization of network resources, for example streaming multimedia, peer-to-peer file sharing, etc. that can eat up valuable or scarce network resources. An efficiently crafted network management strategy can also aid companies to make intelligent choices on network enhancements once they understand how much network resources really required at various times.

Putting an efficient network management platform in place ahead of time is critical to prevent major problems that can result from Denial Of Service (DoS) attacks and dangerous viruses. Such events can leave the network unusable and in the absence of proper tools it can be difficult, and sometimes practically impossible, to discover the source of the problem.

It provides a unified network view and permits network administrators to employ its functions across switches, routers, and WAPs.

Cisco Security Manager is a highly functional but simple to operate solution for managing all aspects of appliance set up and security policies for firewalls, virtual private networks (VPNs), and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS). The solution effectively manages even small environments with fewer than ten appliances, but also expands to control enterprise networks composed of thousands of Cisco routers, security appliances, and switch services modules. Expansion is enabled through intelligent policy-driven management procedures that can simplify administration. Key features of Security Manager include:

  • Extensive animated help for the first-time operator to accelerate training period
  • Globally specify which policies are shared and automatically inherited by new appliances to ensure corporate policies are implemented consistently, while providing optional flexibility to customize policies at the local device level
  • Capability to create a common firewall rule table for all Cisco platforms with smart analysis of firewall policies to detect anomalies within the rule base
  • Quickly set up location-to-location, hub-spoke, full-mesh IPsec, or extranet VPN links by means of a few mouse clicks
  • Compatibility with Cisco ACS for granular role based access management to devices and administration functions
  • Operation with Cisco security MARS to compare monitored data with related security appliance rules to promote faster decision making and increased system availability
