Challenging Hackathon for Professionals and Students

EY organiseert in samenwerking met Brandweernetwerk Vlaanderen en VIAS een hackathon die zal plaatsvinden op 17 en 18 oktober 2019.

100% studentenkorting

Inzet van de hackathon 
Innovatieve toepassingen ontwikkelen die bijdragen om de dagelijkse werking van de brandweer te verbeteren en efficiënter te maken.

Locatie
De hackathon vindt plaats in de Wavespace van EY Antwerp, Borsbeeksebrug 26, Berchem. Voor meer informatie kan u steeds de website raadplegen: https://hackathon.thefactory.works/

De hackathon zal zich op drie pijnpunten focussen waar brandweerdiensten vandaag mee te maken krijgen:

1. Smart Homes and Buildings: hoe kan slimme technologie in gebouwen brandweer bijstaan voor brandpreventie en -detectie?
2. Smart Mobility: hoe brandbestrijdingsmiddelen op de meest efficiënte manier toewijzen, volgen en op de locatie brengen?
3. Smart Fire Service: hoe kunnen opkomende technologieën (VR, AR, Drones, Wearable technologieën, enz.) brandweer op het terrein en tijdens trainingen ondersteunen?

De winnaars van de challenges krijgen de mogelijkheid om hun oplossing te presenteren op het Back2TheFuture Brandweercongres (500 aanwezigen). Het einddoel van het evenement is om in samenwerking met Vias en de Brandweer een concreet project verder uit te werken.

New Courses and Certifications for 2020

Message from Cisco

Preparing Instructors and Students for the New Network

The new networking is coming -- Technology that enables automation and intent-based networking are fundamentally expanding what the network does and the role it plays.  In order to unleash the full capabilities of the new network, we need people with the skills to manage it.  This networking technology evolution is what's driving the redesign of our Certification program and enhancements to our Networking Academy courses.

 

The new CCNA v7 Course will consists of three modules, totalling 200 hours of work.

Hardware bundles & Equipment for new Courses

Current Equipment for CCNA & CCNA Security Courses

• Router ISR4221/K9 
• Switch WS-C2960+24TC-L
• Firewall  ASA5506-K9 

The equipment used for the Networking Academy labs supports open standards published by IETF and IEEE. The Cisco Networking Academy courses are teaching open standards in a hands-on way.

It is not necessary to use high-end devices to design, implement and troubleshoot networks in the Networking Academy labs. There are still academies running on 1800/2800 and even on 2600 series of routers and most of the content is still possible to practice on that equipment.

Current Equipment for CCNA & CCNA Security Courses

• Router
  • CCNA courses: ISR4221/K9  (2GE, 2NIM, 8G FLASH, 4G DRAM,IPB)
  • CCNA Security course: ISR4221-SEC/K9 or ISR4321-SEC/K9
  • Wireless N-Router (b/g/n Wi-Fi): needed in CCNAv7, with Simultaneous Dual-Band, MIMO antenna array for expanded high speed coverage and reliability, 4 Gigabit Ethernet Ports, support for IPv6, WPA2 encryption and SPI Firewall, Quality of Service (QoS)
  • Optional for CCNAv7: NIM-2T= (2-Port Serial WAN Interface card)
• Switch: WS-C2960+24TC-L
• Firewall
  • CCNA Security course: ASA5506-K9 --- ASA 5506-X with FirePOWER services, 8GE, AC, 3DES/AES

Necessary equipment for new CCNA Version 7

The new Version 7 of the CCNA course will be recommending a minimal POD of 2 routers  + 2 switches.

There will be still labs requiring 3 routers and/or 3 switches. These labs will be formatted for Packet Tracer but instructors are always encouraged to use real equipment.

End of Life of equipment

When a product is announced end of life (EoL) the following will happen:

• Device will stay available till the EoL date and will be in Netacad Promo
• Global NetAcad team will start to look for replacement. Once the replacement is found and proofed to be suitable for the course, the courses will be started updating if this is necessary
• Academies will be advised to purchase the new device at the next upgrade and instructions will be issued about how to run the current course on old equipment

Usually this whole chain of events takes at least one year.

CCNA Security 

• CCNA Security certification will be replaced by a training badge. So, the NetAcad Course CCNA Security is not going away.
• People who complete the course will receive a Training Badge.
• People who have CCNA Security certification will be converted in CCNA + Training Badge.
• Currently, we don´t have any information about plans of  discontinuing the CCNA Security course.

Switch: WS-C2960+24TC-L

A trusted 10/100 device supporting all open standards used in the Cisco Academy CCNA labs.
