Progent's operational structure is designed to make top information technology skills available on short notice and for a reasonable cost. Progent is unmatched in the IT consulting arena for the ability to offer easy, rapid, and budget-friendly access to Cisco Certified Internetwork Experts (CCIEs). Cisco-certified CCIEs are sought-after networking engineers who qualify for this prestigious certification only after strenuous testing by Cisco.
CCIE is the most advanced certification for networking engineers, and certifies a person's networking skills at the expert level. Individuals who pass both of the required tests, one written and the other in a hands-on lab environment, receive a CCIE certificate from Cisco. CCIE certification usually takes at least three years of real-world seasoning designing, deploying, managing, and repairing complex Cisco networks. Earning a CCIE certificate also requires experience with Cisco hardware and network software, extensive knowledge of Local and Wide Area Network mechanisms, and a detailed familiarity with the protocols associated with appliances such as routers, switches, bridges, and security devices. The prestigious CCIE certification has been voted the most technically advanced information technology credential by CertMag.
The Capabilities of a Cisco CCIE Engineer
Cisco's CCIE credential identifies experts with the skills and background to handle the most difficult assignments in their field. The CCIE exams administered by Cisco are continually revised to evolve along with the state of the art, focusing on contemporary technologies and practical problems. The CCIE certification is active for two years, and to renew it engineers must pass a Cisco recertification test. This guarantees that CCIE engineers don't get stale or too focused so that they can provide the most advanced approaches to the widest array of challenges involving the most advanced networking technology.
CCIEs are a highly-select class of engineers. Below 3% of all Cisco certified professionals achieve the CCIE level, a tiny fraction of IT professionals worldwide. In 2010, around 5,000 Cisco Certified Internetwork Experts were located in the United States. Progent offers the services of about 12 CCIE-certified engineers on its remote and on-site IT consulting team, which is an exceptionally large number for a publicly accessible network support firm.
CCIEs can resolve even the most difficult issues related to network design, integration, management, protection, and troubleshooting. CCIEs operate on a privileged basis with Cisco's internal support staff in identifying anomalies with IOS Software network administration tools and developing workarounds or obtaining software updates to fix problems. CCIEs represent an exceptional value since their deep expertise allows them to solve complex problems rapidly. In many instances, less qualified engineers can spend 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 expert at Cisco technologies, but have multiple advanced industry credentials such as Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE), and a major security certification such as CISSP or CISA. This allows Progent to offer comprehensive services that incorporate a wide range of technologies without requiring needless costs and interruptions orchestrating multiple consultants.
Progent's CCIE Support Services
Most CCIEs work for large corporations or national Internet providers, and so their skills are not readily available to the general public. Progent is one of the few support organizations that makes CCIEs accessible to support small and mid-size companies. In addition, Progent can provide quick contact with a CCIE-certified consultant online so that you can receive immediate help for complex network problems that are hurting worker productivity but are outside the experience of your ordinary IT support resources. Progent's CCIE engineers can connect to your environment by means of secure remote troubleshooting tools in order to provide quick and economical analysis and remediation of critical network problems.
