Cisco Introduces New Data and Analytics Training

Cisco has rolled out a new data and analytics training portfolio as well as updates to its data center certification track. The changes focus primarily on integrated data management and virtualization, teaching in-demand skills needed to connect data, processes and experiences and make better business decisions.

The new data and analytics training offerings are designed to teach an agile data integration method that simplifies access to information. This approach is expected to help businesses pull greater value from growing volumes of data more quickly, without the need for additional resources.

In addition, the CCNA, CCNP and CCIE Data Center certification exams and curricula have been revised to reflect related industry changes and evolution. These adjustments include data center network management, streamlined operations through automation and the capability to implement unified computing and advanced virtualization.

“Cisco is preparing professionals for today’s expanding job roles and new skills requirements,” said Tejas Vashi, Cisco senior director, product strategy & marketing. “These new data analytics and data center offerings supplement our recently introduced cloud, IoT and cybersecurity certification programs. Together, they help professionals develop the skills to manage and control enterprise-wide deployments securely and consistently.”
