This field is one of the widest and most all encompassing areas in the world of I.T. With so many advanced skill-sets to learn, a degree of specialist training is the only sensible solution. Both Cisco & Microsoft make systems for this sector. Microsoft create Network & Server Software, while Cisco focus primarily on the hard-ware end of networking: Routers, data-switches, controllers and so forth. Security has become a huge challenge in recent years, which has forced both organisations to move into the sector in a huge way. We also needs to notice the the more professional use of Wi-Fi these days, which is basically wireless connections & hardware. Lastly, 2 very important and developing fields within the security marketplace are Digital Forensics and Ethical-Hacking.

Microsoft produce a variety of specialist areas at MCSE level, for example in Security or Messaging for students with a specific interest. Maybe, the CompTIA Security+ , moving onto the 'CISSP' ('Certified Information Systems Security Professional') could be suitable. CISSP prospects have to have considerable professional work experience, so make sure you investigate this well. Discussing your needs with our team of industry experts will clarify everything for you personally.

A basic understanding of networks is an ideal first base for anybody getting into the IT industry. Until you understand how a PC functions and communicates with other PCs, anything else is probably nonsense. Providing you have effective literacy skills, you will find packages such as CompTIA's A+ & N+ provides you with a very good grounding to begin your career. We have extensive details about these programs on our pages focused on 'CompTIA'.

Moving on from this level will often take you to the Microsoft MCSA/MCSE or perhaps the Cisco CCNA/CCNP, depending on whether you're pursuing the 'hardware' or 'software' end of the equation. However, it must be mentioned that a comprehensive knowledge of MS network systems is basically essential for the majority of network-environments, due to Microsoft's dominance in this field. You'll find further qualification information on this website from the dedicated MS and 'Cisco' sections.

A further possibility is to continue with CompTIA qualifications for example Server+ , Security+ or Linux+ & continue being vendor neutral, or take the CWNA or CWNP and specialise in wire-less technologies.

Certifications within this market aren't limited just Cisco and Microsoft themselves. A number of well-respected neutral organisations are today presenting progressively more pertinent & essential qualifications. The significance about understanding converging technologies and inter-connectivity in networks is now solidly recognized. There are now some seismic shifts going on in the world of networking : particularly the movement toward 'cloud' or Internet based computing (regarding storage of data, and processing-power), & the mental shift toward 'green' IT. Green IT doesn't specifically indicate environmentally-friendly - it does have elements intended to lower the carbon dioxide impact and so on., but it's also strongly placed in the commercial reality of cost reduction. Lower-power processors and computer systems produce much less heat, therefore much less cooling is necessary. Organisations with substantial networks of computers can bring down their energy bills substantially with greener & more efficient computer systems.
