Progent's organization is designed to make top IT skills accessible on short notice and affordably. Progent is a leader in the network support industry for being able to offer convenient, rapid, and cost-effective access to Cisco CCIEs. CCIEs are sought-after network professionals who earn this rare certification only after strenuous testing by Cisco.
CCIE is the premier certification for network professionals, and indicates a person's networking knowledge at the master level. Individuals who succeed in the two required tests, one written and one in a lab environment, receive a CCIE certificate from Cisco. Becoming a CCIE typically takes a minimum of three years of real-world experience architecting, deploying, managing, and troubleshooting large-scale Cisco environments. Earning a CCIE certificate also requires a familiarity with Cisco hardware and network software, extensive understanding of Local and Wide Area Network mechanisms, and an in-depth familiarity with the protocols associated with appliances such as routers, switches, bridges, and firewalls. The prestigious CCIE certification has been voted the most advanced IT certification by CertMag.
The Capabilities of a CCIE Consultant
Cisco's CCIE certification recognizes experts with the knowledge and background to succeed in the most difficult tasks in their field. The CCIE exams administered by Cisco are regularly revised to evolve along with the state of the art, focusing on current environments and real-world problems. The CCIE credential is valid for two years, and to renew it holders must pass a Cisco renewal test. This guarantees that CCIEs don't get stale or too focused in order that they can offer the latest solutions to a broad range of problems associated with the most recent network and security technology.
CCIEs are a highly-select group of engineers. Less than 3% of all Cisco certified professionals achieve the CCIE certification, a small fraction of IT workers worldwide. In 2010, around 5,000 Cisco Certified Internetwork Experts were estimated to be in the US. Progent retains the skills of about 12 CCIE-certified engineers on its phone-support and on-site network support team, which is an extraordinarily high number for a publicly accessible network service firm.
CCIEs can handle even the most complex issues involving network design, integration, administration, protection, and troubleshooting. CCIEs operate on a privileged basis with Cisco's in-house support staff in isolating anomalies with IOS Software network administration tools and developing alternate approaches or obtaining software updates to fix problems. CCIEs are an exceptional value since their depth of experience allows them to fix complex problems rapidly. In common cases, less seasoned engineers can spend many hours or days wrestling with a problem that an experienced CCIE can resolve in a few minutes.
The majority of Progent CCIEs are not only experienced with Cisco networking solutions, but have a variety of advanced technical certifications including Microsoft MCSE, and a major network protection credential such as CISSP or CISM. This allows Progent to offer comprehensive solutions that address a wide range of technologies without requiring needless costs and interruptions orchestrating multiple consultants.
Progent's CCIE Support Services
Most CCIEs work for large enterprises or nationwide ISPs, and so their help is not readily accessible to the general public. Progent is one of the few consulting organizations that makes CCIEs accessible to assist small and medium sized companies. In addition, Progent offers fast contact with a CCIE-certified consultant online so that you can receive timely support for complex network problems that are hurting worker efficiency but are outside the experience of your ordinary IT support providers. Progent's CCIE consultants can connect to your environment via the latest on-line troubleshooting technology in order to perform fast and affordable analysis and repair of urgent system problems.
