Network management tools assist companies to deploy network infrastructure efficiently, access client details quickly, track system health, debug issues, protect against and respond to cyber attacks, and maximize responsiveness. Network management systems can help detect inefficient or improper uses of network resources like streaming multimedia or peer-to-peer file sharing that can burn up bandwidth, reduce worker output or allow data leakage. A well planned network management solution can also assist companies to make informed capacity planning moves by surfacing tendencies in resource demand for various periods or types of tasks.

Cisco Meraki Dashboard Consultants

The Meraki Dashboard allows simplified cloud management for Cisco network appliances

Cisco offers a diverse and expanding catalog of network management platforms that support centralized management for on-premises, cloud-based, or hybrid network models. With Cisco's newer security, switching, and Wi-Fi infrastructure devices, you can choose among Meraki, DNA Center, or CLI management platforms for network management. For instance, you can interface newer Catalyst or Meraki switches and Catalyst or Meraki Wi-Fi access points to the Meraki dashboard to manage vital components of your corporate infrastructure from the cloud. Progent's Catalyst WiFi access point experts, Meraki WiFi AP experts, Catalyst switches experts, and Meraki switches consultants can help you to plan, implement and tune a modern solution for network infrastructure monitoring and management.

Traditional Network Management Platforms from Cisco and Others
Network Management Solutions Consulting FirmAn abundance of network management utilities from Cisco and other vendors underscores the value and difficulty of network management. Progent's Cisco-certified network management engineers are expert at assisting companies develop management solutions based on Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), SYSLOG services, and Cisco Netflow protocols to build effective mechanisms for understanding network bandwidth usage and latency, viewing key router and switch operational metrics, and recognizing traffic patterns, processes, and appliances utilizing available services.

Progent can help customers to utilize a broad range of open source and license-based management solutions to maintain Cisco infrastructure. Utilities used by Progent's consultants include MRTG, Cacti, Nagios, Cisco Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM), Cisco Monitor Manager, Cisco Security Manager, OpenView, AlterPoint DeviceAuthority, Adventnet Netflow, Big Brother, and NetMRI.

Network management platforms can help organizations to be aware of current system utilization and effectively plan for downstream traffic expansion. Network management tools can also be used to detect poor or inappropriate uses of network services, for example streaming audio and video, peer-to-peer file exchange, etc. that can eat up expensive and scarce network resources. An efficiently designed network management plan can also enable businesses to arrive at intelligent choices on wide and local area network upgrades after they appreciate how much network bandwidth really needed at various times.

Putting an efficient network management system in operation ahead of time is critical to avoid severe problems that can result from Denial Of Service attacks and malicious viruses/Trojans. These events can render the network unstable and in the absence of appropriate tools it can be time consuming, and sometimes practically impossible, to find the location of the problem.

Security Manager is a feature-rich but easy-to-use application for centrally provisioning all facets of appliance configuration and policies for Cisco PIX and ASA security appliances, virtual private networks (VPNs), and IPS. Security Manager efficiently handles even small environments with fewer than ten appliances, but also scales to control enterprise networks composed of thousands of Cisco routers, security appliances, and switch services modules. Scalability is achieved through smart policy-based management techniques that can streamline administration. Key features of Security Manager include:

How Progent Can Assist You with Network Management
Progent's Cisco-Certified network management engineers can show you how to use Cisco's network management tools alongside a variety of powerful third-party applications to develop a complete network management toolkit to keep your network functioning dependably, consolidate expensive resources, guard your data, recover rapidly from equipment failure or malicious assaults, and allow you to expand or reassign system resources intelligently and economically as your company grows.

Progent can also show you how to use network management tools to monitor and classify network data to implement traffic shaping, which permits you to program Cisco routers to impose different throughput restrictions on designated classes of activity based on the priorities you assign. By storing and queuing data packets above your contracted rates, and by giving priority to the most important applications, traffic shaping can prevent service provider overage penalties from spinning out of reach and/or eliminate lost productivity resulting from brute force enforcement of your network traffic volume limits during periods of heavy use.

Progent's CISM and CISSP security professionals can show you how to create an end-to-end security plan that incorporates your network management solution, and Progent's remote and on-site support experts and Cisco CCIE and CNA qualified consultants can use advanced network monitoring and analysis tools to identify and remediate trouble quickly to keep your network productive.
