Progent's organization is geared towards making the best IT skills accessible quickly and affordably. Progent is a leader in the IT consulting industry for being able to offer easy, rapid, and budget-friendly access to Cisco CCIEs. CCIEs are elite networking engineers who earn this prestigious certification by passing strenuous testing by Cisco.
CCIE (Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert) is the top certification for network engineers, and certifies an individual's networking knowledge at the master level. Individuals who succeed in both of the mandatory exams, one written and the other in a lab setting, are awarded a CCIE certificate from Cisco. CCIE certification typically requires a minimum of three years of practical seasoning designing, implementing, operating, and troubleshooting large-scale Cisco networks. Qualifying for a CCIE credential also demands experience with Cisco devices and network solutions, broad knowledge of Local and Wide Area Network technologies, and a detailed familiarity with the network protocols associated with routers, switches, bridges, and firewalls. The prestigious CCIE credential has been recognized as the most technically advanced IT certification by CertMag.
The Capabilities of a Cisco CCIE Engineer
CCIE credential recognizes consultants with the knowledge and background to handle the most challenging tasks in their field. The CCIE tests given by Cisco are continually revised to evolve with the state of the art, concentrating on current technologies and real-world problems. The CCIE credential is active for two years, and to renew it holders have to pass a Cisco renewal exam. This ensures that CCIEs do not become out of date or too specialized so that they can provide the latest solutions to the widest array of problems associated with the most advanced network and security products and technology.
CCIEs are a highly-select group of consultants. Less than 3% of all Cisco qualified professionals qualify for the CCIE level, a tiny minority of IT professionals worldwide. In 2010, approximately 5,000 CCIEs were located in the United States. Progent retains the services of about a dozen CCIEs on its remote and on-site IT support group, which represents an extraordinarily large number for an independent computer support organization.
CCIEs can resolve the most difficult issues encountered in network planning, deployment, management, protection, and troubleshooting. CCIEs operate with the highest priority with Cisco's internal support staff in isolating problems with Cisco IOS Software network management utilities and coming up with workarounds or obtaining software updates to fix problems. CCIEs are an exceptional value because their deep expertise allows them to solve complex problems rapidly. In many instances, less seasoned engineers can burn up hours or days wrestling with a problem that an experienced CCIE can resolve in just a few minutes.
The majority of Progent CCIEs are not only expert at Cisco technologies, but have multiple recognized technical certifications such as Microsoft MCSE, and an important network security credential such as CISA or CISM. This permits Progent to provide comprehensive services that address a wide range of IT products without incurring needless expenses and delays orchestrating too many consultants.
Progent's CCIE Support Services
Most CCIEs are employed by large enterprises or nationwide Internet providers, and so their skills are not easily available to small businesses. Progent is among the rare consulting organizations that makes CCIEs available to support small and medium sized businesses. In addition, Progent can provide quick contact with a CCIE-certified consultant online so that you can get immediate support for complex network issues that are impacting worker productivity but are beyond the scope of your local IT maintenance providers.
