Cisco Certified Expert Network Consultants

As computer technology advances, the distinction between a router and a switch is becoming less clear. Essentially, routers are Layer 3 (L3) products that connect networks with one another. A typical scenario is connecting a small business Ethernet network to the Internet. Switches are L2 devices that interface client devices that share the same network. Basically, routers rely on CPUs to send data based on sophisticated software, offering intelligence at the expense of speed. Switches, on the other hand, depend upon mostly fixed hardware designs to steer data at the highest possible speed. Today's routers typically include Layer 2 switches, and many of today’s switches have some Layer 3 routing capability. Routers offered by Cisco, the supplier of 90% of the industry's routers, have advanced dramatically in capability and performance and Cisco now makes an extensive portfolio that features routers engineered to handle the requirements of customers from individual telecommuters to the world's largest ISPs.

The latest Integrated Services Routers released by Cisco have the performance and integrated features to support data voice and video as well as virtualization while also offering fault tolerance, remote administration, seamless expandability, and enhanced security and compliance. These routers allow your company to establish a solid foundation for an IT network that can grow seamlessly as you hire new workers, open extra offices, deploy additional capabilities, extend your system to customers and vendors, and support an an increasingly mobile user base. Progent’s Cisco CCIE network engineers can provide immediate and affordable remote support to assist your company to plan, deploy, manage, upgrade, and troubleshoot Cisco's most advanced router technology and can help you to support your older routers or move non-disruptively to Cisco’s newer router products.
