Yahoo was once the MOST used web browser

The result?

In 1998 it had 95 million page views per day

But why NO one is using Yahoo now?

Here are 7 reasons for Yahoo’s downfall 👇👇

@NetworkRalf @Cisco_Panther Interesting. My customers have a different experience with ACI. Perhaps they are not "stretching" it to its limit.

And I have to ask, which are the standards-based SDDC offerings? I see mostly "ACI vs NSX" convos among enterprises in my part of the world.

[Felix Nkansah @design4gh]

@NetworkRalf @Cisco_Panther I agree with the spirit. But the reality: can you truly "master" any variant of SDx without some kind of vendor affiliation? And how r the non-proprietary offerings faring in the market today? Disclaimer: I'm biased. I'll select ACI in 99% SDDC scenarios.

[Felix Nkansah @design4gh]

@Cisco_Panther Depends how u see it. Technologies and protocols are simply "academic" if learned without some kind of hands-on practice or implementation (ala vendor affiliation). Cisco helped me understand OSPF better than most vendor-neutral resources out there (including the related RFCs).

@spencer4hire19 @kmcnam1 Also, take a look at the ISE articles by @zig_zsiga at https://t.co/QQp4IStVzs. Many, including myself, have found the tutorials very helpful.

So why at all do we have #CCIE Enterprise Infrastructure AND CCIE Enterprise Wireless? Is Wireless not Infrastructure?

@LizardEMT911 If only I had met you earlier in my life!

[Felix Nkansah @design4gh]

@landownunda Like the answer to every design question, I wu say "it depends". Your level of skills, exposure, and experience influence how long you spend on CCDE preps. But I agree, CCDP Arch especially is a good stepping stone.

[Felix Nkansah @design4gh]

@Cisco_Panther I like to ask CCIE candidates one question: do you want to HAVE a CCIE or you want to BE a CCIE? There's a fine line between the two. Having managed and employed CCIEs over a dozen years, I know how clear that line is.

[Felix Nkansah @design4gh]

@jfilliben @dyarashus Interestingly, even after I got my CCIE, I found myself having to read the CCDA because it was the only Cisco cert course that taught how to develop/write technical proposals. The exam was tougher than the NA too.

@DarenFulwell Until #CLUS 2020 when an "announcement" is made that the #CCDE program will be retired on Feb 24, 2021. #justsaying

Back up on a regular basis.
Scheduling routine backups can protect you from the unexpected. Always keep a few months' worth of retrievable backup
