Every NOC technician has earned this complex designation, which tests the skills
required to install, configure, operate and troubleshoot routed and switched
networks. Many on the team have earned even more senior Cisco certifications.
Created by Cisco Systems Inc., CCNA is the industry-recognized standard
of expertise for IT network professionals. The rigorous certification requires
knowledge of core network functions, including the verification of remote sites
in a Wide Area Network (WAN), knowledge of various network types and the basic
mitigation of security threats. Additional skills tested include the
implementation of Local Area Networks (LAN) and an understanding of wireless
networking concepts.
Customers tell us that they come to The Planet to
host their IT infrastructures based on the quality of our network and our six
world-class data centers, said Stan Barter, The Planet's Vice President of
Network Operations. The NOC is the nerve center for our company, and its primary
role is to ensure the entire network infrastructure functions at its highest
level of capability. Cisco is the recognized market leader in IT and network
knowledge, so we certify each engineer to their standards, which offer an
excellent career path for advancement in our company.
Currently, there
are open positions in The Planet NOC for those with CCNA qualifications. For
