VMware software and products are popular among enterprises. However, they are also highly proprietary. So, unless you have had experience with VMware products, any experience with other software can only serve as a foundation for using vSphere and other software that VMware offers.

Virtualization is a constantly evolving process, with new platforms introducing tools every day that are designed to make the process of moving to the cloud simpler.

Value stream mapping can be a dramatically transformational event – expanding empathy across teams, sharing points of view, and solving gaps in understanding which may be robbing everyone of productivity. This webinar will quickly equip attendees with a high-level understanding of value stream mapping and will teach practical tips on how to run a value stream mapping exercise within their teams and organizations.

While the recent trend towards cloud computing might make it seem like virtualization is new, it has existed in some form for many decades.

Most of us have heard of "oversharing" in the social sense (i.e. giving out too many details of your personal life), but how about "under sharing" in the Windows Server realm? What does that even mean? Well, I sort of just made that up, but it does actually make some sense when you think about it in terms of creating a Windows Share that doesn’t provide enough permissions.

As the sophistication, stealth, and frequency of cybersecurity threats continue to increase, the complexity of attacks means every organization needs security expertise before, during, and after an attack. For this reason, the demand for cybersecurity operations (CyberOps) personnel keeps going up.

There are many challenges that come to the forefront as you begin the process of virtualizing the data center and moving away from the current physical network setup.

Using Palo Alto Networks, PAN-OS, enterprises can build an IT Security Platform capable of delivering protection against all stages of the Cyber-Attack Lifecycle. From Reconnaissance to Act on Objective, the PAN-OS Single-Pass Parallel Processing (SP3) engine combines efficient throughput with maximum data protection. This live webinar will describe how the SP3 Architecture can increase network traffic visibility and enable you to control your environment.

The Internet is not automatically a secure or safe place to be. We need to re-evaluate what it means to be secure in our online activities. 

Mobile payment applications or systems have become commonplace with the expansive growth and popularity of smartphones and other mobile devices.

Protecting your IT assets from threats is an essential part of business and personal digital activities. VPNs and firewalls are two commonly used security tools to help reduce risk while maintaining usability. When used in concert, IT communications are filtered and encrypted.

IT professionals, human resource leaders, and industry experts turn to the Global Knowledge IT Skills and Salary Report because for over a decade it’s been a reliable source of information on training and certifications, salaries, challenges and future outlooks.

According to our IT Skills and Salary Report, 85% of professionals possess at least one certification. That’s a ton of competition in the industry. And the general consensus is the more certifications, the better. So why are so many IT pros and decision-makers putting such an emphasis on certifications? Why is so much investment devoted to training?

As cloud platforms provide ever greater infrastructure capability, automating and managing infrastructure is becoming critical to our strategy and process. Tooling environments are also heavily impacted. Tools like Terraform, configuration automation tools (Chef, Ansible, etc.) and cloud-native infrastructure solutions completely change cost models and workflows. This presentation is an introduction to infrastructure automation in the cloud, a few popular automation tools, and how to tie automation to larger cloud (and business) strategy.

An IT certification is a recognized benchmark mapped to a specific skill set based on standardized testing. A certification demonstrates your dedication, motivation and technical knowledge on a specific platform.

From analyzing your data and allowing to ask natural language questions to working with and building huge data models, this version of Excel has a lot to offer. These are some of the best features that Excel has to offer. Some haven’t finished their evolution yet either.

Next Hop Resolution Protocol enables businesses to have a way for next-hop servers and next-hop clients to communicate with each other directly, bypassing a central hub and preventing potential bottlenecks.

Discover how to accelerate the development of your security skills and competencies by incorporating experiential learning activities such as cyber ranges into training. Cyber ranges have emerged as excellent vehicles for helping IT professionals learn by doing. These realistic, hands-on simulations prepare you for when — not if — you’re attacked. And we’ve added them to GK Polaris!

Policy-based routing (PBR) provides network administrators with agility and flexibility to better manage traffic. With carefully architected policies, you can optimize how segments of your network process data, as well as how bandwidth is managed for business-critical applications.

Microsoft and Global Knowledge are partnering up to showcase the importance of Cybersecurity Awareness Month.

When it comes to developing new, innovative ways and tools for breaching security, the attackers never stay idle – and so shouldn’t we when it comes to counteracting! Through the past few years, their inventiveness caused substantial damage in the area of supply chain attacks. During this webinar, Paula will demonstrate techniques of using the supply chain method and show tactics used today by cyber-criminals that allow them to deliver it and what are the prevention mechanisms to avoid being attacked by the newest innovations! Bring some coffee before attending!

The Cisco Certified Network Professional Enterprise is built on the longstanding and well-recognized CCNP Routing and Switching. With the addition of evolving technologies, this makes the certification current and relevant. Having a vendor certification can be hit or miss, depending on the vendor, but with Cisco holding a major percentages of market share in the different technologies and implementations in the networking industry, having a CCNP Enterprise on your resume offers several advantages.

Many Enterprise companies use Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) as their Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP). OSPF relies on Link State Advertisements (LSAs) in order to advertise and learn subnets so whether it’s for CCNA or CCNP Enterprise or simply for a basic understanding of OSPF, it is important to understand the purpose of the various LSA types and how far the LSAs flood.

Despite rapid advances in technology, and widespread use of networks over the last few decades, the Fundamentals of Networking have not changed much. It is also quite surprising to see significant gaps or deficiencies in the foundational knowledge of many networking and IT professionals.

For every organization, effective cybersecurity depends on a careful deployment of technology, processes, and people. And if you get the people right, they’ll take care of the other two factors. Just like sports teams, cybersecurity teams need to be carefully bult and managed to reach optimum performance. They don’t just take shape naturally.

In any operational data center, it is critical to have the highest degree of visibility on network traffic for operations and application troubleshooting. In this white paper, we discuss how to achieve optimal visibility of any type of application traffic with Cisco Application Centric Architecture, or ACI.
