Cisco Expert Network Consulting and Support

Progent's organization is geared towards making top information technology skills available on short notice and affordably. Progent is a leader in the network support arena for being able to provide convenient, rapid, and budget-friendly access to Cisco CCIEs. CCIEs are sought-after network engineers who earn this rare certification by passing intense examination by Cisco.

CCIE (Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert) is the top recognition for networking professionals, and certifies an individual's technical skills at the expert level. Individuals who succeed in the two mandatory exams, one written and one in a lab setting, are awarded a CCIE credential from Cisco. CCIE certification typically requires a minimum of three years of real-world experience architecting, implementing, managing, and repairing complex Cisco networks. Qualifying for a CCIE certificate also demands experience with Cisco hardware and Cisco networking solutions, broad understanding of LAN and WAN technologies, and an in-depth familiarity with the network protocols associated with appliances such as routers, switches, bridges, and security devices. The elite CCIE credential has been recognized as the most technically advanced information technology credential by CertMag.

The Skills of a Cisco CCIE Consultant
The CCIE credential identifies engineers with the skills and experience to handle the most challenging assignments in networking. The CCIE exams given by Cisco are continually updated to grow with the industry, concentrating on current technologies and real-world applications. The CCIE credential is active for two years, and to keep it current holders need to take a Cisco recertification test. This guarantees that CCIE engineers do not become out of date or overly focused so that they can offer the latest solutions to the widest array of challenges involving the most advanced networking products and technology.

CCIEs are a highly-select group of engineers. Below 3% of all Cisco qualified individuals make it to the CCIE level, a tiny fraction of information technology professionals in the industry. In 2010, around 5,000 CCIEs were registered in the United States. Progent offers the skills of around a dozen CCIEs on its remote and on-site IT consulting group, which represents an extraordinarily high number for an independent small business IT service company.

CCIEs can resolve even the most complex issues encountered in network planning, integration, management, security, and repair. CCIEs operate on a privileged basis with Cisco's in-house engineers in isolating anomalies with IOS Software network administration tools and coming up with workarounds or obtaining software updates to resolve problems. CCIEs represent an exceptional value since their depth of expertise allows them to solve seemingly intractable problems quickly. In many cases, less qualified consultants can burn up hours or days wrestling with a task that a certified CCIE can resolve in minutes.

The majority of Progent CCIEs are not only expert at Cisco technologies, but have multiple recognized industry certifications such as Microsoft MCSE, and an important security certification such as CISA or CISM. This permits Progent to offer end-to-end solutions that address a wide array of technologies without incurring extra expenses and delays managing multiple consultants.

Progent's CCIE Support Services
Most CCIEs are employed by large corporations or nationwide ISPs, and so their skills are not easily accessible to the general public. Progent is one of the rare consulting providers that makes CCIEs available to assist small and medium sized businesses. Also, Progent offers fast contact with a CCIE-certified consultant online so that you can get immediate help for urgent network issues that are impacting business productivity but are outside the experience of your local IT maintenance personnel. Progent's CCIE engineers can tie into your network by means of state-of-the-art remote troubleshooting technology in order to perform quick and economical diagnosis and repair of critical system problems.
