Cisco Network Consulting

Cisco's security technologies for small to mid-sized companies provide a comprehensive range of easy-to-manage network protection hardware and software to allow you to protect your entire connectivity environment. Cisco's rich catalog of security and Virtual Private Network technologies features routers, Catalyst and Nexus switches, firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and Virtual Private Network concentrators. Progent's expert consulting staff includes experienced consultants with Cisco's CCIE and CCNP certification who can assist your organization to choose and integrate Virtual Private Network and security technologies that work optimally with your environment.

Cisco VPNs
Cisco offers multiple alternatives for implementing a Virtual Private Network solution, so you can choose the option that best aligns with your operational needs. You can set up both remote access and site-to-site Virtual Private Networks with IOS Software, through software and Advanced Integrated Module hardware encryption boards, or with hardware devices, such as a VPN access concentrator, router, ASA 5500-X firewalls with Firepower Services, or dedicated VPN server for dial-up services. All Cisco VPN solutions are easy to integrate and administer and offer the versatility to evolve with your changing operational needs.
