Cisco Datacenter Solutions Consulting FirmData centers are the key to leveraging IT resources to maximize the business value of an IT network. For small businesses, data centers have often evolved in a haphazard manner, resulting in a situation where processors and storage devices are underutilized, available communications bandwidth is wasted, teamwork and information sharing is limited, support requirements are excessive, expansion or reconfiguring is expensive, protection is patchy, seemingly minor changes turn into major hassles, and full recovery from catastrophic breakdowns becomes virtually undoable. Cisco's most recent connectivity products and technologies enable a new generation of data center architecture that allows ongoing improvements in server, storage, network topology, and applications in a manageable and economical way. Progent's consultants can help you to select and implement Cisco's network technology to create a robust foundation for your data center and to streamline your data center operations in vital areas such as:

  • Processor and storage utilization
  • End-to-end security enforcement
  • Processor proliferation
  • Regulatory issues
  • Disaster recovery
The business advantages that can be realized from engaging Progent's Cisco-certified experts to enhance your data center include:
  • Lower TCO: permits IT to substantially cut capital costs through consolidation and higher utilization of formerly separate equipment, slash operational expenses by simplifying and automating management tasks, and cut air conditioning and power costs.
  • More Business Agility: enables IT to respond dynamically to changing business conditions by allowing fast provisioning of application and infrastructure functions from common pools of integrated server, disk, and network technologies. This can improve operational processes and support policy-driven control.
  • Better Network Resilience: enables IT to respond to disruptions or intrusions by guarding connections, programs, and information with advanced degrees of fault tolerance, pervasive protection, and business continuance.
  • Improved Service Levels: enables IT management to optimize network service levels by implementing safe, accelerated access to data center-hosted applications and information from any location and at any moment across the enterprise.
