Cisco Datacenter Solutions ConsultantsData centers are the focal point of utilizing information technology assets to maximize the business value of an information system. For small businesses, data centers have typically grown in a piecemeal manner, resulting in a state where servers and disks are deployed inefficiently, usable communications capacity is overlooked, collaboration and information sharing is limited, maintenance demands are excessive, scaling or reconfiguring is costly, protection is patchy, nominally minor modifications turn into major hassles, and complete recovery from catastrophic breakdowns is almost impossible. Cisco's latest network devices and technologies support a new generation of data center architecture that allows continual improvements in server, storage, connectivity topology, and applications in a manageable and economical way. Progent's engineers can help you to select and implement Cisco's connectivity solutions to create a robust foundation for your data center and to improve your operations in critical areas such as:

  • Server and disk utilization
  • End-to-end security policy enforcement
  • Server proliferation
  • Regulatory requirements
  • Business continuance
The important benefits that can accrue from using Progent's Cisco-certified consultants to streamline your data center include:
  • Reduced TCO: permits IT to significantly lower capital costs through consolidation and more efficient use of formerly separate network resources, lower operational expenses by simplifying and automating management tasks, and reduce cooling and power bills.
  • Greater Business Agility: enables IT management to react quickly to changing competitive conditions by facilitating fast deployment of application and infrastructure functions from shared aggregations of integrated server, disk, and connectivity technologies. This helps streamline operational processes and support policy-based management.
  • Enhanced Business Robustness: allows IT to react to breakdowns or intrusions by protecting infrastructure, programs, and information with the highest degrees of availability, pervasive protection, and disaster recovery.
  • Improved Service Levels: permits IT to improve business service levels by implementing safe, fast access to data center-hosted applications and data from anywhere and at any moment across the organization.
