Vyatta Announces Virtual Network Certification Program
New Program Adds Hands-On Testing and Certification to Vyatta Educational Services
BELMONT, Calif., June 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Vyatta, the leader in software-based networking for virtual and cloud environments, today announced the addition of a certification component to Vyatta's Educational Services programs. Vyatta Certified Professional is the first of two levels to be released, with Vyatta Certified Expert(1) to be released in the near future.
WHAT: The first of two certification
levels, Vyatta Certified
Professional is the
industry's only hands-on
certification designed to
test a Vyatta user's ability
to configure and troubleshoot
virtualized and cloud
networks utilizing the Vyatta
Network OS.
The Professional exam consists
of three sections, each of
which must be completed
within an hour (a total of
three hours for the exam):
- Part 1 - 45 Multiple Choice Exam: Questions cover a variety of
technologies and candidates must successfully answer a minimum of
75 percent to pass the section and to continue the exam.
- Part 2 - Three Configuration Scenarios: Connecting remotely to
Vyatta's virtual lab, the candidate must properly configure
Vyatta within the network.
- Part 3 - Three Troubleshooting Scenarios: Connecting remotely to a
network of Vyatta devices, the candidate must diagnose and repair
three separate network problems.
WHEN: Vyatta Certified Professional
is available effective
immediately and Vyatta
Certified Expert is scheduled
for release in early Q3.
WHY: A certification program of
this magnitude carries with
it several business and
individual benefits. For
businesses, ensuring that
network managers are properly
trained can reduce vendor
customer support needs, as
well as ensure the network is
built and configured
correctly.
The completion of Vyatta's
certification courses also
enables individuals to
demonstrate their familiarity
with virtualized and cloud
networks, as well as the
emerging software-based
networking technology, which
Vyatta pioneered.
QUOTES: "As companies continue the
conceptual transition from
physical to virtual networks,
the demand for talented
network architects and
engineers will continue to
grow. Vyatta's certification
program is one line on the
resume that can answer the
capabilities question," said
Kelly Herrell, CEO of Vyatta.
"Much like Vyatta has
decoupled network hardware
from software, our new
certification program
decouples training from the
classroom. Individuals can
complete the exam from the
comfort of their office, lab
or home, while still being
tested in a real-world
environment."
"The Vyatta certification is
the only program in the
industry where candidates
demonstrate hands-on
competency at every level of
certification," said Hendy
Appleton, Education Services
Manager at Vyatta. "Unlike
some other industry
certifications where you can
read a book and pass a
written test, Vyatta's goal
is to ensure that network
engineers are truly capable
of executing what they're
certified to do."
