Juniper Now Offers Industry’s First
Comprehensive Training for the Full Network Lifecycle
Juniper Networks (NYSE:JNPR), the industry leader in network
innovation, today announced Juniper Design Training and
Certification curriculum, a new offering that teaches best
practices and new techniques across network design, including
software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions
virtualization (NFV).
Networks are in a constant state of change. The emergence of
automation has fundamentally changed how networks can and will be
designed. Network designers and administrators are now facing
myriad complicated considerations and options when designing a
network, many that did not exist just a few years ago. Further, the
benefits that can be realized from SDN and NFV have raised the
stakes in ensuring a well-designed network.
Juniper’s Design Curriculum includes a portfolio of trainings
and a set of level-specific design certifications on the latest
approaches, resources and tools that enable companies to build,
expand, secure and automate their networks. The trainings range in
topic from the fundamentals of network design to specific design
requirements of data center and WAN networks. Together with its
network engineering and support-focused courses, Juniper is
offering training on the full network lifecycle – from initial
design all the way through ongoing maintenance.
The new program is available to all existing customers, partners
and IT professionals considering network changes or looking to
enhance their skillset. Juniper’s Design Curriculum also offers
specialized trainings for customers in verticals such as financial
services, cloud services, national government and other customers
with complex data center environments or heightened security
concerns.
News Highlights:
- The first course in the Design
Curriculum, Juniper Networks Design Fundamentals, is available
now.
- The first certification, Juniper
Networks Certified Design Associate (JNCDA), is now available for
registration.
- There will be three levels of
certifications available: design associate, specialist and
professional.
Supporting Quotes:
“Design and architecture knowledge are key components in solving
IT-based business problems. Many people design networks based on
their limited career experience, but adapting the correct design
for the situation requires that you be skilled in the art of
architecture and design. Architecture and design courses like these
from Juniper fill the gap in knowledge that potential architects
have. This enables the architect to select the right tool for the
job at hand.”
- Gary Hauser, principle architect, Copper
River Information Technology, Juniper Networks Ingenious
Champion/Partner Technical Advisory Board Member
“It's fantastic that Juniper now has a design certification
track, along with corresponding training courses. The existing
technical courses and certifications have always built core
knowledge on the technologies and configuration of networks, but
there was a need for proper network architecture and design to go
along with it. I am looking forward to taking the classes.”
- Chris Jones, SDN engineer, SDN
Essentials
“The Juniper Design Curriculum is a great way for me to learn
the depth and breadth of the available configurations and
technologies for Junos implementations. The new design track
promises to provide the big picture and context to select the right
features for the job and provide a solid set of principles to guide
the discovery of the business needs to drive that design.”
- Steve Puluka, senior IP engineer, DQE
Communications
“I’m really looking forward to completing this new track to
ensure that my understanding of design principles and best
practices are on par with what the industry expects.”
- Nick Ryce, senior network architect,
Fluency Communications
“Today’s IT staff are managing complex, constantly changing
networks. At the same time, they are facing an overwhelming range
of options to improve network efficiency and cost-effectiveness
through automation. Juniper’s Design Curriculum offers customers
and partners an opportunity to learn directly from Juniper how to
design the best network for their business as well as receive
guidance on how to best take advantage of the range of network
options available.”
