Cisco Datacenter Management Consulting FirmData centers are the key to utilizing information technology resources to optimize the competitive value of an IT network. For small companies, data centers have often grown in a piecemeal manner, resulting in a situation where servers and storage devices are deployed inefficiently, available communications bandwidth is overlooked, teamwork and information sharing is minimal, maintenance demands are excessive, scaling or reconfiguring is costly, protection is poor, seemingly simple modifications turn into giant hassles, and complete recovery from catastrophic failure becomes virtually impossible. Cisco's latest network appliances and tools enable a new generation of data center architecture that allows ongoing enhancements in server, storage, network infrastructure, and application technologies in a maintainable and cost-effective way. Progent's Cisco-certified professionals can assist you to identify and deploy Cisco's network products to build a robust basis for your data center and to streamline your data center operations in vital areas such as:

  • Processor and disk utilization
  • Comprehensive security enforcement
  • Server proliferation
  • Regulatory requirements
  • Business continuance
The key benefits that can accrue as a result of engaging Progent's Cisco-certified consultants to streamline your data center include:
  • Lower ownership cost: enables IT to substantially reduce capital costs via integration and higher utilization of formerly separate network resources, lower operational expenses through simplifying and automating management tasks, and cut HVAC and power bills.
  • Greater Business Flexibility: permits IT management to respond dynamically to evolving competitive demands by facilitating fast deployment of application and network services from shared aggregations of integrated server, disk, and connectivity resources. This helps streamline administrative procedures and enable policy-driven control.
  • Enhanced Business Robustness: allows IT to react to breakdowns or intrusions by protecting infrastructure, programs, and data through advanced levels of availability, comprehensive protection, and business continuance.
  • Optimized Service Levels: allows IT management to improve network service levels by implementing secure, accelerated connectivity to data center-resident applications and information from anywhere and at any moment throughout the organization.
