CCIE Security V/S CCIE Collaboration and Data Center.

 CCIE Security as and when compared to CCIE Collaboration and Data Center or any other track other than R&S wins hands down. CCIE Collaboration has been introduced merely few years back and has not been able to establish itself as a boon for the Indian networking industry. Due to its minimal usage in our industry, scope of CCIE collaboration professionals is restricted as compared to big companies outside India. If we compare its value here in India to companies abroad then value and growth opportunities outside surpass the rate we have here. CCIE Collaboration jobs are in abundance but only in companies which are outside India.

Talking about CCIE R&S and CCIE Security, jobs relative to these two fields are in abundance as each and every company of the world that deals in Cisco technologies or products require Cisco networking professionals or engineers. Due to lack of certified and knowledgeable Cisco professionals many companies have started to outsource their networking requirements to other network consulting companies and IT companies as a result of which many such companies have started hiring such professionals for numerous requirement firms.

Value of CCIE Collaboration and Data Center

Although salaries offered to CCIE Collaboration candidates are world class but companies prefer hiring professionals who have certain amount of experience in the same. Experienced professionals are hired by companies for international projects as organizations require individuals with sound communicational and technical skills for handling their networking assignments. Choosing CCIE Security as a career today is much beneficial than CCIE Collaboration or Data Center because jobs which are being offered are more for Security people than for any other track comparable. Cisco CCIE Data Center certified engineers are undoubtedly paid very nicely but only to those professional engineers who have years of experience to their credits. Say if you are a CCIE R&S certified with 5-6 years of experience then going for Data Center certification will be a great move by you for the betterment of your career but if you are a fresher and think that directly going for CCIE DC will be of great benefit to you is a complete sink alone situation in that regard.

CCIE Data Center Job Availability

Another factor to consider is the availability of DC jobs in India. Despite generous salary packages the number of jobs available for DC candidates are very less as compared to any other track present. This scarcity is due to the less usability of Data Centers as you will find jobs only in those companies which are either managing their own or other client’s data center. Apart from this consideration, getting a job as Data Center engineer is next to impossible. Comparing the jobs available in networking industry, CCIE Security wins the battle effortlessly as jobs available are 10 times more than CCIE Collaboration or Data Center. This is so because while preparing for CCIE Security certification, you tend to learn CCNA + CCNP (R&S) which gives you the opportunity learn in depth about routing and switching technologies including detailed study of Security technologies contained in the curriculum.

Significant advantage of having a CCIE Security certification is that you tend to absorb knowledge about both the tracks that is R&S and security by doing single certification. Companies choose Security candidates as they know having 50 Security aspirants will save their cost of hiring 50 separate R&S candidates apart from the security ones.

Hence, CCIE Security is always recommended over R&S, Collaboration or Voice track certification.
