  Progent's UNIX and Linux consultants can offer urgent remote help analyzing problems affecting UNIX, Linux, or Solaris networks based on popular variants of UNIX such as: macOS and Mac OS X, Solaris, IBM AIX OS, HP-UX, Berkeley UNIX (BSD), SCO and Silicon Graphics IRIX or important Linux distributions including RedHat, SUSE, Debian GNU/Linux and CentOS Linux, Ubuntu Linux, Mandriva Linux, PCLOS, fedora, and Gentoo.

• Certified Cisco Engineers
  The CCIE (Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert) credential is the premier recognition for network engineers, and indicates an individual's technical skills at the expert level. CCIEs can resolve the most difficult problems encountered in network planning, deployment, management, security, and repair. CCIEs operate on a privileged basis with Cisco's in-house support staff in identifying problems with Cisco IOS Software network administration utilities and developing alternate approaches or obtaining software updates to resolve problems. CCIEs are an exceptional value because their depth of experience allows them to resolve the most intractable problems quickly. In common cases, less qualified consultants can struggle with identical problems for many hours or even days.

  Progent is among the rare service firms that makes CCIEs accessible to support small and medium sized companies. Progent can provide fast access to a CCIE by telephone so that you can get timely help for complex network issues that are hurting worker productivity but are beyond the experience of your ordinary IT maintenance providers. Progent's CCIE support experts can connect to your environment by means of secure on-line troubleshooting technology in order to provide quick and affordable analysis and repair of critical system problems.
