Cisco has rolled out a new Web 2.0-oriented online training community aimed at increasing technical aptitude for both established professionals and relative newbies.
Leveraging its “CiscoLive” (formerly “Networkers”) event in Orlando, Florida as the venue for the announcement, the Cisco Learning Network (www.cisco.com/go/learnnetspace) includes features such as document sharing and open forum discussions.
Seems like a smart move to me – especially given the company’s SMB push. And as virtual communities become increasingly prevalent in the business community, more people will be likely to be looking for exactly this sort of thing. How many CCIEs will be found in that community remains to be seen, but it seems likely to become a solid resource regardless.
In other news, Cisco also announced new CCNA certifications for security, voice and wireless.
