Cisco CCIE EngineersProgent's organizational structure is optimized to make the best network support talent available quickly and for a reasonable cost. Progent is a leader in the IT consulting industry for the ability to provide convenient, rapid, and budget-friendly access to Cisco CCIEs. CCIEs are elite networking engineers who earn this rare certification by passing intense testing by Cisco. CCIE (Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert) is the top recognition for network professionals, and indicates an individual's technical skills at the master level. Individuals who succeed in both of the required tests, one written and the other in a lab environment, receive a CCIE credential from Cisco. CCIE certification typically requires a minimum of three years of practical experience designing, implementing, operating, and troubleshooting sophisticated Cisco environments. Qualifying for a CCIE credential also demands a familiarity with Cisco hardware and network software, broad understanding of Local Area Network and Wide Area Network mechanisms, and an in-depth familiarity with the protocols used on appliances such as routers, switches, bridges, and security devices. The elite CCIE credential has been voted the most advanced information technology certification by CertMag. The Capabilities of a CCIE Engineer
Cisco's CCIE credential identifies consultants with the skills and experience to succeed in the most challenging assignments in their field. The CCIE exams given by Cisco are continually revised to grow with the state of the art, concentrating on contemporary technologies and practical problems. The CCIE certification is active for two years, and to renew it holders must pass a Cisco renewal test. This guarantees that CCIEs do not get out of date or too specialized in order that they can offer the most advanced solutions to a broad array of challenges involving the most recent network and security technology. CCIEs are a select group of engineers. Below 3% of all Cisco qualified individuals achieve the CCIE level, a tiny minority of IT professionals in the industry. In 2010, approximately 5,000 Cisco Certified Internetwork Experts were registered in the US. Progent retains the services of around a dozen CCIEs on its phone-support and on-site IT support group, which represents an extraordinarily high number for an independent small business IT service firm. CCIEs can handle even the most complex problems related to network design, deployment, management, protection, and repair. CCIEs operate with the highest priority with Cisco's internal engineers in isolating anomalies with Cisco IOS Software network administration utilities and coming up with workarounds or installing software patches to fix problems. CCIEs are an excellent value since their depth of experience allows them to fix complex problems quickly. In many instances, less qualified engineers can burn up hours or days struggling with a problem that an experienced CCIE can resolve in minutes. The majority of Progent CCIEs are not only experienced with Cisco products, but also have a variety of recognized technical credentials including Microsoft MCSE, and an important network protection credential such as CISSP or CISM. This permits Progent to offer end-to-end solutions that address a broad array of technologies without requiring extra expenses and delays orchestrating too many consultants. Progent's CCIE Support Services
Most CCIEs work for large enterprises or national Internet providers, and so their services are not easily accessible to the general public. Progent is among the rare support providers that makes CCIEs accessible to support small and medium sized businesses. In addition, Progent offers quick access to a CCIE-certified consultant by phone so that you can receive immediate support for complex network issues that are hurting worker productivity but are outside the experience of your ordinary network support providers. Progent's CCIE support experts can tie into your network using sophisticated remote troubleshooting tools in order to provide quick and economical analysis and remediation of critical system trouble.
