Cisco Expert Network Consultants

As technology progresses, the difference between routers and switches is becoming blurred. Fundamentally, routers are Layer 3 devices that connect different networks. A common scenario is connecting a small business network to the Internet. Switches are L2 devices that interface various devices within a network. Basically, routers rely on computation to send traffic based on complex algorithms, offering flexibility at the expense of speed. Switches, by comparison, rely on largely predefined hardware configurations to forward data at the fastest feasible speed. Today's routers usually incorporate L2 switches, and many modern switches have L3 routing capability. Routers offered by Cisco, the supplier of 90% of the world's routers, have advanced significantly in function and speed and Cisco makes an extensive product line that includes routers designed to meet the needs of customers ranging from households to nationwide service providers.

The most recent ISR routers released by Cisco have the performance and built-in functionality to support IP voice and video as well as virtual environments while also offering fault tolerance, remote administration, easy extensibility, and enhanced security and compliance. These routers allow your company to establish a solid foundation for an IT environment that can grow seamlessly as you hire new workers, open extra sites, activate new capabilities, give access to your system to customers and partners, and support an an increasingly mobile user base. Progent’s Cisco certified CCIE network consultants can provide immediate and affordable online support to assist you to plan, configure, manage, upgrade, and support Cisco's most advanced routers and can assist you to support your older routers or migrate efficiently to Cisco’s current networking solutions.
