Cisco Expert Network Consultants

As computer technology advances, the distinction between router and switch products has grown fuzzier. Essentially, routers are Layer 3 (L3) products designed to connect networks. A common example is connecting a small business Ethernet network to the Internet via DSL. Switches are instead Layer 2 (L2) devices that interconnect various devices that share the same network. Basically, routers depend on processors to steer data using sophisticated algorithms, providing intelligence at the expense of speed. Switches, in contrast, depend upon mostly fixed hardware configurations to send traffic at the fastest possible speed. The current generation of routers usually come with L2 switches, and many of today’s switches include some Layer 3 routing capability. Routers offered by Cisco, the producer of 90% of the world's routers, have improved dramatically in capability and speed and Cisco offers a comprehensive product line that features routers designed to handle the needs of customers from individual telecommuters to the world's largest ISPs.

The latest ISR routers released by Cisco offer the performance and integrated features to support data voice and video plus virtual environments while at the same time offering fault tolerance, remote administration, easy expandability, and advanced security and compliance. Cisco's ISR routers enable your business to establish a firm foundation for an IT network that can grow seamlessly as you add more employees, establish new sites, configure additional functions, extend your network to clients and partners, and support an expanding mobile user base. Progent’s Cisco certified CCIE network engineers offer immediate and economical online expertise to assist your company to select, deploy, administer, upgrade, and troubleshoot Cisco's latest router technology and can assist you to support your legacy routers or migrate non-disruptively to Cisco’s newer router products.
