Cisco Network Consulting and Support

Cisco's security and VPN technologies for small to mid-sized businesses provide a complete range of manageable security devices and utilities to help you to protect your wired and wireless network infrastructure. Cisco's extensive catalog of protection and Virtual Private Network technologies features routers, Catalyst and Nexus switches, firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS), and VPN concentrators. Progent's seasoned consulting staff includes experienced professionals with Cisco's CCIE and CCNP credentials who can assist your organization to select and deploy VPN and security technologies that align optimally with your business.

VPNs
Cisco provides several alternatives for implementing a Virtual Private Network solution, allowing you to choose the approach that best fits your operational requirements. You can set up both remote connectivity and office-to-office Virtual Private Networks with Cisco IOS Software, through software and Advanced Integrated Module hardware encryption cards, or with physical devices, such as a VPN access concentrator, router, ASA firewalls with Firepower Services, or dedicated Virtual Private Network processor for dial-up functions. All Cisco VPN approaches are easy to deploy and administer and provide the flexibility to evolve along with your changing operational needs.
