New Certification Resides Above CCIE
Cairo, (Egypt) – July 15, 2009 –
Responding to strong customer and market demand to recognize the
architectural expertise of network designers, Cisco introduced the
Cisco Certified Architect during the recent Cisco Live event in San
Francisco. This new certification is the highest level of
accreditation achievable within Cisco® Career Certifications.
The Cisco Certified Architect certification recognizes the
architectural experience and competency of network designers who
can support the increasingly complex networks of global
organizations and effectively translate business strategies into
evolutionary technical strategies. The certification stands above
the expert-level CCIE® certification in terms of difficulty, with
an emphasis on expertise in network infrastructure architecture and
a proven ability to work with executive-level customers to ensure
that business requirements are incorporated into successful
designs.
The Cisco Certified Architect certification will be administered
as a board exam and candidates will propose and defend an
architecture solution against a set of business requirements, and
the candidates will be asked to modify their proposals "on the
fly," based on additional requirements presented by the board.
Prerequisites include a CCDE certification, approximately 10 years
of industry experience, and acceptance into the program via a
formal application process.
