Progent's organization is optimized to make top network support skills accessible on short notice and for a reasonable cost. Progent is unmatched in the network support industry for being able to offer convenient, rapid, and budget-friendly access to Cisco Certified Internetwork Experts (CCIEs). Cisco-certified CCIEs are elite networking engineers who earn this prestigious certification by passing intense testing by Cisco.
CCIE is the top recognition for networking engineers, and indicates a person's technical skills at the master level. Candidates who pass both of the required exams, one written and one in a hands-on lab environment, are awarded a CCIE certificate from Cisco. Becoming a CCIE usually takes at least three years of practical seasoning architecting, implementing, operating, and repairing large-scale Cisco networks. Earning a CCIE certificate also demands a familiarity with Cisco hardware and network software, extensive understanding of Local Area Network and Wide Area Network mechanisms, and a detailed understanding of the protocols associated with routers, switches, bridges, and firewalls. The elite CCIE credential has been recognized as the most advanced information technology certification by CertMag.
The Capabilities of a CCIE Consultant
The CCIE certification recognizes consultants with the knowledge and background to succeed in the most difficult tasks in their field. The CCIE tests administered by Cisco are continually revised to evolve with the state of the art, concentrating on contemporary environments and real-world problems. The CCIE credential is valid for two years, and to renew it consultants need to take a Cisco recertification exam. This guarantees that CCIE engineers do not get out of date or overly focused so that they can provide the latest approaches to the widest range of challenges involving the most current connectivity technology.
CCIEs are a highly-select group of engineers. Less than 3% of all Cisco certified individuals qualify for the CCIE certification, a small minority of information technology professionals worldwide. In 2010, approximately 5,000 CCIEs were registered in the United States. Progent offers the services of about 12 CCIEs on its phone-support and on-site network consulting group, which represents an extraordinarily high number for an independent computer service organization.
CCIEs can handle even the most complex issues related to network design, integration, administration, security, and troubleshooting. CCIEs work on a privileged basis with Cisco's internal engineers in identifying problems with Cisco IOS Software network management tools and coming up with alternate approaches or obtaining software patches to fix problems. CCIEs represent an exceptional value because their deep expertise enables them to resolve seemingly intractable problems rapidly. In common instances, less qualified engineers can spend many hours or even days struggling with a task that an experienced CCIE can solve in minutes.
The majority of Progent CCIEs are not only expert at Cisco products, but also have a variety of recognized technical credentials such as Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE), and a major security certification such as CISSP or CISA. This allows Progent to offer complete solutions that incorporate a wide array of technologies without requiring extra costs and delays managing too many specialists.
Progent's CCIE Support Services
Most CCIEs are employed by large enterprises or nationwide ISPs, and so their services are not readily available to small businesses. Progent is among the rare service firms that makes CCIEs accessible to support small and mid-size companies. Also, Progent offers quick access to a CCIE-certified consultant online so that you can get immediate support for complex network issues that are impacting business efficiency but are outside the scope of your local IT maintenance resources.
