Cisco memperbaiki beberapa sertifikasi yang paling kritis dan program pengembangan karier dalam upaya untuk mengatasi lingkungan jaringan yang berorientasi perangkat lunak yang muncul. Bersama Devnet, mereka meluncurkan sertifikat berbasis komunitas-developer.
Cisco memodifikasi beberapa sertifikasi yang paling penting miliknya. Hal ini dilakukan dalam rangka beradaptasi dengan lingkungan jaringan berorientasi perangkat lunak yang kini mulai dibutuhkan pasar.
Target dari DevNet adalah developer software dan engineer jaringan yang sedang mengembangkan kemampuan perangkat lunak untuk mengembangkan aplikasi dan alur kerja otomatis yang dapat di implementasikan dalam operasional jaringan dan infrastruktur.
Evolusi sertifikasi ini adalah langkah selanjutnya untuk mencerminkan keterampilan jaringan yang harus dimiliki oleh engineer jaringan yang berada di garis depan gangguan bisnis yang didukung jaringan dan memberikan keunggulan pelanggan,
Untuk tampil efektif di era baru seperti ini, setiap profesional TI membutuhkan keterampilan yang lebih luas, lebih dalam, dan lebih cepat daripada sebelumnya. Mereka juga harus menemukan kenyaman bekerja sebagai tim multidisiplin seperti Infrastructure network engineers, DevOps and Automation Specialist dan Software Professionals.
Cisco Certification
Berikut merupakan beberapa model sertifikasi terbaru dari Cisco, terkait beberapa model yang ditawarkan.
Sertifikasi yang disederhanakan untuk menyertifikasi profesional dengan sertifikasi Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA), Cisco Specialist serta Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) dan sertifikasi Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) dalam kategori enteprise, data center, service provider, security dan collaboration.
Untuk profesional yang lebih senior, CCNP akan memberi peserta pilihan lima jalur. Jalur ini mencakup teknologi perusahaan termasuk infrastructure and wireless, service provider, data center, security dan collaboration. Mereka akan dapat lebih mengkhususkan diri dalam area fokus tertentu dalam teknologi tersebut.
Mereka mengatakan akan menghilangkan prasyarat untuk sertifikasi, artinya insinyur dapat mengubah opsi karier tanpa harus mengambil jalur yang ditentukan.
Perluasan penawaran Cisco Networking Academy untuk melatih profesional jaringan tingkat pemula dan developer software. Kursus mempersiapkan siswa untuk mendapatkan sertifikasi CCNA dan Certified DevNet Associate, untuk memenuhi permintaan pasar yang tinggi di bidang TI.
