If you are focused on your future prosperous career, Juniper is something what you really need.

Even if you have no relation to the IT world, you all the same know about the IBM company. IBM is a world leader in IT products and services.

To be on top of the IT world, the company must have topnotch specialists. IBM does all the best for its professionals to give them new knowledge or update existing one.

Thus, when old certifications are withdrawn, new ones appear. It means that it’s high time to refresh your knowledge.

On April 30, 2017, analysts and event modelers said goodbye to the IBM Certified Business Analyst – Tealeaf Customer Experience Management V8.7 certification. But as the proverb says: Holy place is never empty. Thus, welcome the most current certification – IBM Certified Implementation Professional – Tealeaf Customer Experience Management V9.0.

We prepare a GUIDE which helps you to deal with these two certifications. Feel yourself free and examine the following table:

Two possible ways for successful passing the C8010-475 exam:

1. SAMPLE TEST from IBM website. This sample test gives you a feel of the type of questions to be asked.
2. FREE PRACTICE TEST from ExamCollection website. This practice test is an exam simulator which helps you to plunge into an actual exam atmosphere.

As IBM says: Certify your skills. Accelerate your career.

It’s not a secret, nothing changes so fast as the market and technology. It means that as a professional, you should always be up-to-date, informed, knowledgeable about what is new and what is changing.

Keeping your certifications and exams up-to-date is important because it proves that you still know what you are talking about and are current in the market. It means that you know how to upgrade, fix, deploy, and manage whatever changes have come along.

EMC is interested in professionals who keep up with the times. So it periodically updates its certifications and exams. Here and this time the company decided to make changes to its education program.

Tomorrow, on April 28, 2017, the E20-597 exam supporting the Storage Administrator NetWorker Specialist level certification will be updated.

This exam is a qualifying exam for the Storage Administrators – NetWorker Specialist track. This certification claims an individual’s knowledge of Dell EMC NetWorker and common backup and recovery concepts.

The E20-597 exam tests the candidate’s knowledge required to administer, configure, monitor and maintain Dell EMC NetWorker backup solutions.

What will the update include?

This update will include:

1. features and functionalities introduced with NetWorker 9.1
2. expansion of topics related to:

• using NetWorker to back up to the cloud
• deploying NetWorker in a public cloud environment

How will this update impact you?

You have taken the NetWorker Specialist course before April 17, 2017; now you plan to take the E20-597 exam —> take the exam prior to April 28, 2017.

This course taken before April 17, 2017, will not support the updated exam as of April 28, 2017.

And as the proverb says: A rolling stone gathers no moss. So never stand still and don’t miss the opportunity to improve your knowledge.

Cisco gives us the opportunity to check these points by ourselves.

Probably, no other company upgrades and refreshes its exams so often.

Today the 600-510 exam associated with the Cisco Network Programmability Developer Specialist certification is on the agenda.  This exam was retired on April 17, 2017.

But don’t worry, Cisco will not leave you without a chance to become a certified specialist!

The Cisco Network Programmability Developer Specialist certification is available now only after passing new 300-560 exam.

To get acquainted with a new exam and find the answers to the questions asked at the beginning of the article, examine the following table:

You want to pass the 300-560 exam and become a certified specialist, don’t you? Then you should visit this website (Pearson VUE) and schedule the exam.

Don’t waste your time because one day the 300-560 exam will also retire!

• Cisco Data Center L2/L3 Technologies
• Cisco Data Center Network Services
• Data Center Storage Networking and Compute
• Data Center Automation and Orchestration
• Data Center Fabric Infrastructure
• Evolving Technologies

This Cisco certification exam seems to apparently require special experience from candidates. It identifies their skills and knowledge needed to be a good judge of Data Centers, to understand how various components in the Data Center interact, and ability to translate it into the device configurations.

The exam is accessible at Pearson VUE. If you wish to know more, here is a link. Visit the website, schedule the exam and take your chance to gain all the benefits from becoming a certified cisco specialist!

And remember that you are really at your best when you are challenged.

So what is the difference between these two versions of cisco certification exams?

First of all, it’s a period of time and number of queries. While 200-101 ICND2 exam lasts for only 75 minutes and includes 50 or even 60 queries, 200-105 ICND2 exam allows candidates to choose correct keys during 90 minutes, with the test consisting of no more than 55 queries. Another advantage of an updated cisco certification is the possibility not only for English speakers but also for Japanese IT professionals to pass the exam.
And finally, let’s look at the topics for a new version of the exam named Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 2 (200-105 ICND2). Here they are:

• LAN Switching Technologies
• Routing Technologies
• WAN Technologies
• Infrastructure Services
• Infrastructure Maintenance

These topics are basic guidelines for the content which is suggested to occur on the exam. However, other similar topics may also appear on any specific delivery of the exam.

Here you can find the overview and study materials to prepare for a new exam.

The following courses are also the recommended training to pass the exam and get the IT certification.

• Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 2 v3.0 (ICND2)
• CCNA Routing and Switching Training Videos

To register for an exam, please visit Pearson VUE.

It has been changed not without purpose. Juniper Networks Certified Internet Professional (JNCIP-SP) is a written exam which is administered at Pearson VUE testing centers all over the world and covers following topics:

• OSPF
• IS-IS
• BGP
• Class of Service (CoS)
• IP Multicast
• MPLS
• Layer 3 VPNs
• Layer 2 VPNs

As we see, the list above differs a little bit from the same list for a retired version of exam. This change is the result of revisions which were made to allow experienced networking professionals with advanced knowledge of the Juniper Networks Junos OS to verify their understanding of advanced routing technologies and related platform configuration and troubleshooting skills.

Perfectly designed and organized, JN0-661 exam lasts 120 minutes, is composed of 65 multiple-choice questions and includes JNCIP-SP topics based on the content of the recommended instructor led training courses, as well as the additional resources. If you pass the JN0-661 exam, recertification will be achieved, being valid for three years.

To appraise your skill level and to find gaps in your knowledge, take free practice exam before your main test. This practice exam is always available here and can be passed as many times as you wish until you feel comfortable with the material.

The CCNA exam and training course have recently been updated from version 2.0 to version 3.0. So now you can choose between 200-120 CCNA v2.0 exam and 200-125 CCNA v3.0 exam. Both of them are available at Pearson VUE (with 200-120 CCNA v2.0 having expired on August 20, 2016) and can be passed either in English or in Japanese.

The Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) Routing and Switching composite exam (200-125) lasts just 90 minutes and consists of about 50 or 60 queries to verify your proficiency and skills required to install, operate, and troubleshoot a small to medium size enterprise branch network. The queries are related to:

• network fundamentals,
• LAN switching technologies,
• IPv4 and IPv6 routing technologies,
• WAN technologies,
• infrastructure services,
• infrastructure security,
• infrastructure management.

Before the exam mentioned, it is highly recommended to pass the course named Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices: Accelerated (CCNAX). The reason is that Cisco Certified Network Associate Exam topics include all the areas covered under ICND1 and ICND2 Exams.

If you are eager to become a certified network specialist or simply check how deep your knowledge is, don’t delay the registration to the Cisco Certified Network Associate Exam! Show your professional competence and make your way up!
