WHY GET CERTIFIED
The IT industry is constantly changing and evolving. As
time goes on, an ever-increasing number of technologies
are putting strain on networks. New paradigms are
formed as others fall out of favor. New advances are
being developed and adopted in the networking realm.
These advances provide faster innovation and the ability
to adopt relevant technologies in a simplified way. We
therefore need more intelligence and the capability to
leverage the data from connected and distributed
environments such as the campus, branch, data center,
and WAN. Data is being used in interesting and more
powerful ways than ever in the past. The following are
some of the advances driving these outcomes:
Artificial intelligence (AI)
Machine learning (ML)
Cloud services
Virtualization
Internet of Things (IoT)
The influx of these technologies is putting strain on IT
operations staff, who are required to do more robust
planning, find relevant use cases, and provide detailed
adoption journey materials for easy consumption. All
