Cisco Certified Expert Network Consulting

As computer technology progresses, the distinction between a router and a switch is becoming blurred. Fundamentally, routers are Layer 3 (L3) products that connect different networks. A common example is connecting an office Ethernet network to the Internet via DSL. Switches are instead Layer 2 (L2) devices that interface client devices that share the same network. Basically, routers depend on CPUs to steer traffic based on sophisticated algorithms, offering intelligence at the cost of throughput. Switches, in contrast, rely upon mostly fixed hardware configurations to move data at the fastest possible speed. Today's routers usually include Layer 2 switching capability, and many modern switches have some Layer 3 routing functionality. Routers offered by Cisco, the source of 90% of the world's routers, have improved significantly in capability and performance and Cisco makes a comprehensive product line that includes routers designed to handle the needs of users ranging from households to the world's largest ISPs.

The most recent Integrated Services Routers from Cisco have the speed and built-in features to manage IP voice and video plus virtual environments while at the same time offering fault tolerance, remote administration, easy expandability, and enhanced protection. These routers enable you to build a firm foundation for an IT environment that can evolve smoothly as you hire more workers, establish new offices, configure new capabilities, give access to your system to clients and partners, and build an expanding mobile workforce. Progent’s Cisco certified CCIE network consultants offer immediate and affordable online support to help your company to select, configure, administer, upgrade, and support Cisco's latest router technology and can help you to maintain your legacy routers or move efficiently to Cisco’s newer router solutions.
