The Cisco
Global Cloud Index reports that annual global data center IP traffic will
reach 6.6 zettabytes by the end of 2016 at a compound annual growth rate of 31
percent. The growth of data and these new technologies impacts not only IT
systems and infrastructures, but also the professionals that design, install,
operate and manage them. Job roles are transforming more quickly in the data center
than any other space in IT.
To
meet the need for a comprehensive, job-role-focused training and certification
program that allows customers and partners to optimize their IT infrastructure,
Cisco today announced a
Career Certification portfolio consisting of the Cisco
CCNA® Data Center and CCNP®
Data Center, as well as a robust product training portfolio.
Following
the March 2012 announcement of CCIE
Data Center, and the recently introduced suite of Nexus 1000v, 2000/5000,
7000, MDS and UCS product training, Cisco now offers a complete portfolio of Data
Center training and certification, from the associate to expert level. For
the first time, two key pillars of the Unified Cisco Data Center architecture:
Cisco Unified Computing and Cisco Unified Fabric are covered across the job
roles of design, implementation and troubleshooting.
Both
networking professionals that want a new career choice, and current data center
professionals who want to maximize their data center equipment design,
installation and maintenance skills will enjoy benefits from this new
certification track.
Watch
below as I discuss the evolution of skills needed to support next generation
Data Center technologies:
