Cisco Live! Any Way You Want It

I have a feeling that this year’s Cisco Live! event, hosted at Orlando’s Orange County Convention Center next week, is going to be the best one ever. With top-drawer attractions like Journey, Richard Branson, and their own Padmasree Warrior, Cisco has certainly put forth the effort to ensure it will be a conference to remember.

CCNP Exam Prep Tips and Must Knows

In January of 2010, Cisco announced they were updating their CCNP curriculum and their certification exams through what they described as “a comprehensive process involving customers and partners from around the globe.” The revisions focused “on the competencies that are needed to plan, implement, and troubleshoot the routed and switched networks of today and are designed to be more predictive of job readiness.”

Exchange 2013: New Features and Changes, Part 4

Microsoft recently released Exchange Server 2013, an improved messaging platform that provides quite a few interesting features at various levels. There are major changes, and organizations will have to rethink the way they plan to maintain or integrate messaging in their infrastructure. The level of changes is not as dramatic as those seen between 2003 and 2007, but as you will see, certain things are dealt with differently. As of now, very few organizations have Exchange 2013 running, so it is certainly going to be interesting to see how this iteration of the product will interconnect with existing messaging solutions soon.
