CCNA: What It Means to Me, What Awaits in Cisco U.

CCNA: What It Means to Me, What Awaits in Cisco U.

The CCNA changed my life. This isn’t exaggeration or hyperbole. It all started back in 2001, right here in Ottawa, Canada.

I knew nothing about networking then, but the folks at Cisco Networking Academy explained that they would send me to classes…

CCNA: The foundation that built my IT career (can be yours, too)

Hello there, my name is Hank Preston, and I’m CCNA certified. Well, actually, I’m also CCNP, CCIE, and DevNet Expert certified, but it is the CCNA that started me on my journey way back on August 8, 2004. 20 years ago, I sat down for the first time at a Prometric testing center, heart beating fast, palms a little sweaty, and super nervous for my first certification exam: CCNA 640-801.

An In-Depth Look at the Cisco CCDE-AI Infrastructure Certification

An In-Depth Look at the Cisco CCDE-AI Infrastructure Certification

Since OpenAI’s mic-drop moment at the end of last year, it seems that AI—and generative AI in particular—is suddenly everywhere. For network engineers, we see two big areas of change. The first is AI in the network: By integrating AI into networks, we can make those networks more secure, resilient, and higher-performing. The second is AI on the network. The networks that run AI workloads and support the training of generative AI models need to…

Some kind of spy training exercise? Nope. It’s a Cisco certification exam. It’s no wonder Cisco certification exams are nerve-wracking, especially if it’s your first one. That’s not even taking into account all the studying you have to do prior to the actual exam…
