Cisco Datacenter Management Consulting FirmData centers are the key to utilizing IT assets to maximize the strategic value of a computer network. For small businesses, data centers have often grown in a haphazard manner, resulting in a situation where servers and storage devices are deployed inefficiently, available communications capacity is overlooked, collaboration and information sharing is limited, support requirements are excessive, scaling or reconfiguring is expensive, security is poor, nominally simple changes turn into giant hassles, and complete recovery from disastrous failure becomes virtually impossible. Cisco's most recent networking devices and tools enable a new generation of data center architecture that permits continual enhancements in processor, storage, network infrastructure, and applications in a maintainable and cost-effective way. Progent's consultants can assist you to select and deploy Cisco's network products to create a robust basis for your data center and to improve your operations in vital areas such as:

  • Server and storage utilization
  • End-to-end security enforcement
  • Server proliferation
  • Regulatory compliance
  • Disaster recovery
The key advantages that can accrue from using Progent's Cisco-certified experts to streamline your data center include:
  • Reduced costs: enables IT to substantially cut capital expenses via integration and more efficient use of previously separate equipment, slash maintenance expenses by simplifying and automating management tasks, and cut HVAC and energy costs.
  • Greater Business Agility: enables IT to respond dynamically to changing business conditions by allowing rapid provisioning of application and network services from shared pools of consolidated processor, disk, and connectivity resources. This helps streamline administrative processes and support policy-based control.
  • Enhanced Network Robustness: allows IT to react to disruptions or intrusions by guarding infrastructure, applications, and information through the highest degrees of fault tolerance, pervasive security, and disaster recovery.
  • Improved Service Levels: enables IT management to improve business service levels by implementing secure, accelerated access to data center-resident applications and data from any location and at any time across the organization.
