Progent's team-oriented approach to solving technical issues promotes quick escalation, if necessary, to engineers with appropriate expertise to tackle complex situations. This expedites repair of critical problems, minimizes network downtime, and cuts support expense.

  Progent's Apple macOS and OS X consultants can offer emergency phone-based assistance diagnosing anomalies affecting UNIX/Linux systems powered by leading variants of UNIX including: macOS and Mac OS X, Solaris, IBM AIX Operating System, HP-UX (Hewlett Packard UNIX), BSD, SCO UNIX and Silicon Graphics IRIX (SGI/IRIX) or important Linux distributions such as RedHat Linux, SUSE, Debian-GNU and CentOS, Ubuntu Linux, Mandriva, PCLlinuxOS Linux, fedora Linux, and Gentoo.

• Certified Cisco Infrastructure Engineers
  The CCIE (Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert) certification is the top recognition for network consultants, and indicates that an individual's networking knowledge is at the master level. CCIEs can handle the most challenging problems encountered in network design, integration, management, security, and repair. CCIEs work closely with Cisco's in-house engineers in isolating anomalies with Cisco IOS network management utilities and, if needed, coming up with alternate approaches or obtaining software patches to fix problems. CCIEs represent an excellent value because their deep expertise allows them to fix even the most complex problems quickly. In many instances, less seasoned engineers can struggle for hours or even days with identical tasks that CCIEs can fix in minutes.

  Progent is one of the few support organizations that makes CCIEs available online to assist small and mid-size businesses. Progent offers quick contact with a CCIE by phone so that you can get immediate help for urgent network problems that are hurting business efficiency but are outside the scope of your local network maintenance providers. Progent's CCIE consultants can connect to your network using state-of-the-art on-line support tools in order to provide quick and affordable analysis and repair of urgent system trouble.
