What Makes Being a Cisco CCIE So Important?
A CCIE (Cisco Certified Internet Expert) is a top-level network specialist who qualifies for this ultimate certification by passing tough testing given by Cisco. CCIEs can deal with even the most complex issues associated with network deployment, troubleshooting, and optimization. Progent's CCIEs work directly with Cisco's in-house staff in analyzing problems with IOS utilities and creating workarounds or obtaining software updates to fix problems. The vast majority of CCIEs are employed by large enterprises or national Internet providers, and so their services are not easily available to the general public.
For small and midsize businesses anywhere in Alaska, Progent offers convenient, fast, and cost-effective online help from Cisco CCIE consultants. CCIEs are elite networking subject matter experts who earn this top-level classification only as a result of strenuous examination by Cisco. CCIEs are able to resolve even the most complex issues surrounding network architecture, implementation, optimization, repair, and maintenance. Progent's CCIE professionals work closely with Cisco engineers in identifying issues with Cisco's IOS platform and developing fixes or obtaining patches to correct problems. Progent can provide prompt online response from a CCIE so you are able to receive immediate assistance for complex network problems that are impacting worker efficiency but are beyond the scope of your usual network service resources. Progent's CCIE support experts can link to your network using state-of-the-art remote connectivity tools in order to deliver quick and cost-effective diagnosis and repair of critical network difficulties.
