Cisco has very aptly these ‘Next Level’ certifications which will fuel your career with the new skills and learning portfolio that unleashes great potential & possibilities for both network engineers and software developers.
Software and networking are growing more and more interconnected every day. World of networking infrastructure engineers and the world of software developers have started overlapping to a great extent. Rightfully so, Cisco is moving in the direction of bridging the gap between the networking infrastructure engineers and the software application developers. Automation (Software-defined infrastructure programmability), New expectations for speed, scale and security along with increased performance, reliability and security (AI/ML & Business Insights) are the hallmarks of the modern Networking Infrastructure requirements. Software developers have to improve the speed of development and offer Cloud services which are quick and easy. Internet of things (connectivity) is going to increase the value of edge computing and analytics which in turn is supported by enhanced developer tools, APIs and Open Source technologies. Networking engineers are not expected to be software developers but they are expected to be able to understand the elements of programming and their expectations at least.
In short, network engineers will have to communicate with software developers by understanding APIs, controllers and those kinds of things. On the other hand, software developers are building applications that get executed on top of the network infrastructure. They need to have an understanding of the networks so that they can optimize and take advantage of all the new features and functionalities of the network. This is the reality of the evolving roles of network engineers and software developers. A professional with the knowledge of networking technologies and software development is going to be the most coveted resource in the networking world for sure. That is why Cisco is launching certification programs like Cisco Certified DevNet Associates/Professionals and experts.
Cisco has very aptly these ‘Next Level’ certifications which will fuel your career with the new skills and learning portfolio that unleashes great potential & possibilities for both network engineers and software developers.
In keeping with the tradition of providing leadership in aligning technological advancement with the business needs, Cisco is driving the industry towards ‘Unleashing the full capabilities of the new network’ for which leveraging the New Network, Networking, and the Software Skills are the key elements.
Cisco certification program is providing leadership in shepherding the networking world by building an ecosystem of trained professionals who can develop software on top of Cisco platforms without losing the agility, relevance, flexibility, integrity, and brand. DevNet (CCDA Cisco Certified DevNet Associate) is the move in this direction. Necessary changes are being made in the CCNA, CCNP, and CCIE certification programs to reflect these objectives while launching new certifications like CCDA, CCDP and CCDE.
CISCO’s modular CCDA training program is aimed at catering to various technological needs and demands of the individuals and the industry. CCDA certification program is designed to focus on knowledge and skills in developing and maintaining applications built on Cisco platforms. The CCDA certification covers fundamentals of software development and design for Cisco platforms. The CCDA certification is the forst step towards preparing yourselves for professional level job roles like software developers, DevOps engineers, automation specialists are expected to embrace the potential of applications, automation and infrastructure for the network, Internet of Things (IoT), DevOps, and Webex.
On 24th Feb 2020, CISCO is INTRODUCING the CCDA (Cisco Certified DevNet Associate) Certification program.
