Cisco CCIE SupportProgent's organizational structure is optimized to make the best information technology skills accessible quickly and for a reasonable cost. Progent is unmatched in the IT consulting arena for the ability to offer convenient, rapid, and cost-effective access to Cisco CCIEs. CCIEs are sought-after network engineers who qualify for this prestigious certification by passing intense examination by Cisco. CCIE is the top certification for network consultants, and indicates a person's technical skills at the expert level. Candidates who pass both of the mandatory tests, one written and the other in a hands-on lab setting, receive a CCIE credential from Cisco. CCIE certification typically takes at least three years of practical seasoning architecting, deploying, managing, and repairing large-scale Cisco environments. Qualifying for a CCIE credential also demands a familiarity with Cisco hardware and Cisco networking software, extensive understanding of LAN and WAN mechanisms, and an in-depth familiarity with the protocols used on routers, switches, bridges, and firewalls. The elite CCIE credential has been recognized as the most advanced information technology certification by CertMag. The Skills of a Cisco CCIE Engineer
Cisco's CCIE credential recognizes consultants with the knowledge and experience to handle the most challenging assignments in networking. The CCIE exams given by Cisco are continually updated to grow with the state of the art, focusing on contemporary environments and real-world applications. The CCIE certification is valid for two years, and to keep it current holders need to take a Cisco renewal test. This guarantees that CCIE engineers do not become stale or too specialized so that they can provide the latest approaches to the widest array of problems involving the most recent connectivity technology. CCIEs are an elite class of engineers. Below 3% of all Cisco certified professionals make it to the CCIE certification, a tiny fraction of IT professionals worldwide. In 2010, approximately 5,000 Cisco Certified Internetwork Experts were estimated to be in the United States. Progent retains the skills of about 12 CCIEs on its phone-support and on-site IT support group, which is an exceptionally high number for a publicly accessible network support company. CCIEs can handle even the most challenging issues involving network planning, integration, administration, security, and troubleshooting. CCIEs work closely with Cisco's in-house support staff in identifying problems with IOS Software network administration tools and coming up with workarounds or installing software patches to correct problems. CCIEs represent an exceptional value since their depth of experience allows them to solve complex problems quickly. In common instances, less seasoned consultants can spend hours or even days struggling with a problem that an experienced CCIE can resolve in a few minutes. Most Progent CCIEs are not only experienced with Cisco products, but also have multiple advanced industry certifications such as Microsoft MCSE, and a major network protection credential such as CISSP or CISM. This allows Progent to offer complete services that address a wide range of IT products without requiring extra expenses and interruptions orchestrating multiple specialists. Progent's CCIE Support Services
The vast majority of CCIEs work for large enterprises or nationwide Internet providers, and so their services are not easily available to the general public. Progent is among the rare consulting firms that makes CCIEs accessible to help small and medium sized businesses. Also, Progent can provide quick contact with a CCIE by phone so that you can get timely support for complex network issues that are hurting business efficiency but are outside the scope of your ordinary network support resources. Progent's CCIE consultants can connect to your environment using secure remote troubleshooting technology in order to provide fast and affordable diagnosis and repair of urgent network trouble.
