  • S9|E40 Navigating the Road to Recertification
    Earning a Cisco certification is no easy task. Preparing for exams, in and of itself, is an investment — the cost of study materials, training, and courses, not to mention the time that candidates devote to building their skills and knowledge — all comes to fruition the moment when they pass the exam, become certified, and reach the next level in their IT career.
    But all of that can (somewhat) quickly fade as their recertification deadline approaches. That open window of three years to recertify suddenly begins to close. In retrospect, the window was much smaller than they had anticipated. And until recently, the only way to recertify was via testing.
    When Cisco revamped its certification portfolio, new changes to its recertification policy arrived as well. Among several new options to recertify aside from taking exams, the updated policy extends the Cisco Continuing Education Program to certified individuals across all certification levels; previously, an option available solely at the Expert level.
    Continuing Education (CE) activities are simply learning activities recognized by Cisco to meet the rigor and standard that demonstrate a level of skill, or proficiency. And while accruing CE credits via training and completing courses is a valid approach to recertification, continuous learning is likely, or rather ideally, innate to the IT professional who understands that keeping their skills and knowledge current amid the rapidly changing landscape of IT is critical for their success.

  • S9|E36 Embrace Sustainability with the Cisco 8000 Series
    The world is marching towards digitization in almost every field. The evolution of mobility and the Internet of Things (IoT) has accelerated digitization. This progress touches nearly every industry and increases efficiency and resilience, but it comes with the cost of increased Greenhouse gas (GHG) and carbon (CO2) emissions. Unless technology and products are designed to be sustainable, carbon emissions will destroy our planet. Increased digitization demands and consumes more of our natural resources. To combat this, the majority of technology companies around the World have pledged to meet the Net Zero challenge.
    This session introduces the concepts of GHG, the need to make products green, and how Cisco is participating and contributing to make its network products sustainable. The discussion will also cover Cisco’s energy efficient network routers like the 8000 Series highlighting the groundbreaking performance achieved by its Silicon One architecture.
