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.

In a product company, you have to figure out how to raise the bar -- and then deliver a hit product. In other companies, you have to provide the systems that let the business run smarter, faster, bigger, or all three. And your resources are under pressure, from legacy thinking to smaller budgets, from disjoint divisions to unexpected industry shifts.
