The cost is affordable, billing is per minute, engagement is immediate, and support is unbeatable. In case your Illinois office is beyond major metropolitan neighborhoods like Chicago, Aurora, Rockford, or Naperville, help from qualified CCIE engineers is often hard to get during a crisis. This could mean lost productivity for your business. By utilizing Progent's remote support, you have access to a Cisco CCIE professional ready to provide the assistance to keep your computer network operating.

What Makes Support from a Cisco-certified CCIE So Important?
A Cisco CCIE is a world-class infrastructure expert who achieves this elite title by passing tough testing given by Cisco. CCIE-certified consultants can deal with even the most complicated issues surrounding computer network deployment, troubleshooting, and configuration. Progent's CCIE-certified support specialists work freely with Cisco's internal staff in identifying issues with IOS software and coming up with workarounds or finding program patches to correct bugs. The vast majority of CCIEs work for large corporations or national Internet providers, and so their help is not easily available to small businesses.

For small and midsize companies anywhere in Illinois, Progent offers convenient, quick, and affordable online help from Cisco CCIE consultants. Cisco Certified Internetwork Experts (CCIEs) are elite networking experts who are awarded this prestigious certification only through intense examination by Cisco. CCIEs can handle the most complex problems surrounding network topology, integration, performance, troubleshooting, and service. Progent's CCIE experts work intimately with Cisco engineers in identifying issues with Cisco's IOS software and developing workarounds or obtaining software updates to resolve problems. Progent offers prompt remote support from a CCIE so you are able to receive immediate assistance for complex network problems that are affecting business efficiency but are beyond the scope of your usual network service providers. Progent's CCIE support professionals can link to your environment using advanced online connectivity technology in order to deliver quick and cost-effective analysis and repair of urgent network difficulties.

Progent can also help you to use network management applications to analyze and categorize system data to enable traffic shaping, which allows you to program Cisco routers to enforce a variety of bandwidth restrictions on designated classes of processes based on the importance you specify. By storing and queuing data packets that exceed your contracted volume, and by assigning priority to business-critical applications, traffic shaping can keep service provider overage penalties from spinning out of reach and/or avoid lost productivity resulting from brute force enforcement of your network bandwidth restrictions during periods of heavy demand.
