For example, there are enterprises that want to extend their wireless LANs outdoors. There are municipalities with wireless public safety and city service applications. And there are service providers wanting to build hot spots that offload data traffic from 3G networks that are quickly growing saturated.

No more. On Monday, Cisco announced a new certification, the Cisco Certified Architect, which will become the rank above CCIE. The new CCA will attempt to marry the networking engineering know-how of the CCIE with the business acumen of the MBA.

In many data centers, organic growth had left them broken up into application silos. The standard three-tier architecture was copied for each application leading to a fairly hierarchical network. In this architecture, some core security services, such as firewalls and intrusion prevention, were concentrated at the root of the network tree, closest to the ingress routers and around any DMZs.

However, as the college faces a 10% budget shortfall this year, falling on the heels of last year's 5% cutback, he's had to dig deep.
