Cisco Expert Network Consulting

As computer technology advances, the difference between router and switch products is becoming fuzzier. Essentially, routers are Layer 3 devices that connect networks with one another. A typical scenario is connecting a small business network to the Internet. Switches are L2 devices that interconnect client devices within a network. Basically, routers rely on processors to move traffic using complex algorithms, providing intelligence at the cost of speed. Switches, on the other hand, depend upon mostly predefined hardware configurations to steer data at the fastest feasible rate. Today's routers ordinarily come with L2 switches, and many of today’s switches have some Layer 3 routing functionality. Routers developed by Cisco, the supplier of the vast majority of the world's routers, have improved dramatically in capability and speed and Cisco offers a comprehensive product line that features routers designed to meet the needs of customers ranging from households to nationwide service providers.

The latest ISR routers released by Cisco offer the performance and integrated functionality to support data voice and video plus virtualization while at the same time offering high availability, web-based management, seamless scalability, and enhanced protection. Cisco's ISR routers allow your company to build a firm foundation for an information environment that can grow seamlessly as you hire more employees, open extra offices, configure new capabilities, give access to your network to clients and partners, and support an expanding mobile user base. Progent’s Cisco certified CCIE network engineers can provide fast and economical online support to help you to select, configure, administer, update, and support Cisco's most advanced router technology and can assist you to maintain your older routers or migrate non-disruptively to Cisco’s current router solutions.
