As technology advances, the distinction between a router and a switch is becoming blurred. Essentially, routers are Layer 3 (L3) products that connect networks. A common example is connecting an office network to the Internet via DSL. Switches are L2 devices that interface client devices within a network. Basically, routers depend on CPUs to steer data using sophisticated software, providing intelligence at the expense of speed. Switches, in contrast, rely on largely predefined hardware designs to send traffic at the highest possible rate. The current generation of routers typically include L2 switching capability, and many of today’s switches have some Layer 3 routing functionality. Routers developed by Cisco, the supplier of 90% of the world's routers, have advanced significantly in function and performance and Cisco makes an extensive portfolio that features routers engineered to handle the needs of users from households to nationwide ISPs.

The latest Integrated Services Routers from Cisco offer the speed and built-in features to manage data voice and video plus virtualization while also offering fault tolerance, remote administration, seamless scalability, and advanced protection. These routers enable your company to establish a firm foundation for an information network that can evolve seamlessly as you hire new workers, open extra offices, configure additional functions, extend your network to customers and vendors, and build an an increasingly mobile workforce. Progent’s Cisco qualified CCIE network engineers can provide fast and affordable remote support to assist you to plan, deploy, manage, update, and support Cisco's latest routers and can help you to support your legacy routers or migrate non-disruptively to Cisco’s current router products.
