New high level certification „Cisco Certified Architect“

Filed under: Allgemein — ocsic @ 12:30

I have overslept this one a bit, but i will catch up quickly from now on again.

In the past, there have been several new certifications around. Seems like Cisco is doing a lot to set new goals apart from CCIE. Formerly this has been the highest level of certification. But seems like Cisco is setting higher goals or new high goals to be reached by individuals.

It’s the Cisco Certified Architect which has been new to the top level available certifications. As a prerequisite you need a valid CCDE certification. To get started with a more detailed view about the Certifed Architect you could start reading this article by Scott Morris, he is sharing his insights. Price to start here is 15.000 $ for the new cert. You will have to pass the CCDE also first. This has been a privilege to only some people. Thinks it’s a good idea to read Scotts article, to form your opinion.

In fact Cisco has announced also three more new certs:

Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) Wireless

Cisco Data Center Unified Computing Support Specialist

Cisco Data Center Unified Computing Design Specialist

Any comments on this are welcome. See you soon.

First Ironman …

Filed under: sports — ocsic @ 23:08

For a long time i did not post any comments. This had a reason…

Not really a CCIE topic, but i did my first ironman (3,8km swim, 180km bike, 42,195km run) in Switzerland, zuerich last week at the 12.7.09.

For those who are interested in, i managed to finish, not the best time, but many others did not finish. So for my first ironman i did it in 13 hours and 48 minutes.

I’m used to cycle long distances already for many years and i was interested how this will be if i also do some swimming and running so i started training in January this year. I wasn’t a good swimmer and still i need much more technique training in freestyle. Bicycling was always my favorite discipline. I did a lot of endurance training in the winter and spring.

During the race i drank a lot isotonic drinks. But i thought running would be easier. So i used much more time during the marathon, than i thought. I’m still looking why i was about one hours slower, than the time i would normally finish the distance. Might have been a drinking problem. Maybe i needed more salt in the drinks.

But i finished quite in good shape and wasn’t to exhausted. People had been very nice and they cheered up us a lot. Thanks to the audience in zuerich. I have registered already for the next one in Frankfurt on the 4.7.2010.
