Cisco Router Support
From CCIE and CCNP Premier Professionals
Generally, routers rely on computation to forward traffic using sophisticated software, providing flexibility at the cost of throughput. Switches, by comparison, rely on mostly fixed hardware configurations to forward traffic at the fastest feasible speed. Today's routers ordinarily incorporate Layer 2 switches, and many of today's switches have some Layer 3 routing capability. Routers offered by Cisco, the producer of the vast majority of the world's routers, have improved dramatically in capability and performance and Cisco offers a comprehensive portfolio that features routers engineered to meet the needs of users ranging from households to the world's largest ISPs.
The latest Integrated Services Routers from Cisco have the speed and integrated functionality to manage IP voice and video as well as virtual environments while at the same time offering fault tolerance, remote management, seamless scalability, and advanced protection. These routers enable you to establish a solid basis for an information network that can grow smoothly as you hire more employees, establish new offices, activate new services, give access to your network to customers and partners, and build an an increasingly mobile workforce. Progent's Cisco qualified CCIE network consultants can provide fast and affordable remote support to help you to select, deploy, administer, update, and support Cisco's latest router technology and can assist you to maintain your legacy routers or migrate efficiently to Cisco's newer router solutions.
Cisco Routers for Home Offices and Small Offices and Branches
Cisco's routers for smaller businesses and remote offices offer affordable and reliable no-frills alternatives that allow limited groups of users to have secure access to wide area networks. All these fixed-configuration desktop devices include at minimum four Ethernet switches with wireless options and integrated firewall to provide enhanced protection. Built for simple installation, management, and support, Cisco's entry-level routers minimize ownership costs by lowering equipment and operational investments. Progent's remote support experts have in-depth experience delivering fast and economical technical assistance for small organizations to configure and support these routers, and Progent's CCIE network consultants can help your company to understand how Cisco's entry-level routers can increase the business value of your information network.
