Review for CCENT 640-822 Network Simulator

CCENT 640-822 Network Simulator is a simply great simulator for the CCNA Certification aspirers covering all the ICND1 topics.

 The  state-of-the-art, interactive simulation software enables you to practice your networking skills with 98 structured labs designed to help you learn by doing, which is the most effective method of learning.

The CCENT 640-822 Network Simulator is divided into three categories, Skill Builder, Configuration Scenario and Troubleshooting Scenario.   The best part of the CCENT 640-822 Network Simulator is its very fast consumes less CPU processing power & it’s a java based application. The lab scenarios included in the CCENT 640-822 Network Simulator are far more complex, challenging you to learn how to perform realistic network configuration and troubleshooting tasks. The CCENT 640-822 Network Simulator is best for the CCNA Certifications aspirers especially for the guys who have less exposure to real environment.

The best thing about the CCENT 640-822 Network Simulator is the organization of labs. The Skill builder consists of three parts; even the Configuration Scenario consists of three parts where as Troubleshooting scenario has one part. These labs are quite handy and useful. The moment you open any lab the corresponding pdf file opens with the lab instructions. You are supposed to answer few questions in the labs, the LAB topology is explained well.

I would strongly recommend the CCENT 640-822 Network Simulator for anyone who is depended on the self study. CCENT 640-822 Network Simulator is available only as a download, and is a subset of the CCENT 640-822 Network Simulator, covering all the ICND1 topics.

Recently I had the opportunity to read the rough cut edition of the book “Designing Cisco Network Service Architectures (ARCH) (Authorized Self-Study Guide), Second Edition”, ISBN 9781587058431, thanks to Pearson Education and Safari Online  for offering  an access the rough cut.

“Designing Cisco Network Service Architectures (ARCH) (Authorized Self-Study Guide), Second Edition”

Rating *****

I would strongly recommend this book for the Cisco CCDP certification aspirers. Since I am working on the latest Network Upgrade plan it helped me a lot to understand the design considerations, Cisco Design Standards.  Based on this book I could able to come out with an excellent Network Design for the Organization which I am working. This manual is good to the pass the Cisco 642-873 ARCH exam.

The topics are covered in detail and extensive, the best part of this book happens to be the organization of the chapters; there are 12 chapters in this book. This deals with the topics like SONA, Enterprise Campus Network Design, Enterprise Data Design, SAN Design Considerations etc.

One more interesting fact which helps is the reference segment at the end of each chapter. If someone wants to achieve his CCDP this is the book, you should go for it.  This is the right manual which can be used as a Study guide to achieve CCDP. Also this manual proves to be a helpful guide for reference.

Dear Friends what a good news at the beginning of the year, guess what Pearson launches the new browser based electronic flash card engine, www.certflashcardsonline.com  , an application that helps the Certifications’ aspirers to practice the IT Certifications exams.

Graphics Courtesy:www.certflashcardsonline.com  

Launching with multiple products on CompTIA, Microsoft and Cisco certifications, the custom flash card application, loaded with more than 250 questions per exam, tests users’ skills and improves their retention of exam topics. Cert Flash Cards Online also allows users to get all-important information at a glance, helping focus on areas of weakness. Available in both desktop and mobile device format, these fact-filled flash cards allow users to test at home, work, or on the go. This new certification preparation tool, Cert Flash Cards Online, along with Cert Prep Online, is available through InformIT.

Additional News Facts:

• A truly unique learning tool; robust features include: space to enter long answers, ability to mark individual questions right or wrong, score reporting, custom set creation, and online updates.
• Cert Flash Cards Online is a late-stage exam-preparation tool, which means that an IT certification candidate would typically use this product during the final weeks before sitting for their live exam.
• This alternative learning format presents a unique approach that compliments other self-study formats like books and practice tests.

Useable Quotes:

“The new Cert Flash Cards Online application from Pearson takes the old school concept of paper flash cards that we all used to memorize our multiplication tables and updates it for the digital age and the technical certification market,” said Brett Bartow, Executive Editor for Cert Flash Cards Online. “While practice tests are great for familiarizing candidates with the exam style, they are typically focused primarily multiple choice question formats, which exposes users to pre-formulated answers to choose from. Cert Flash Cards Online, on the other hand, forces users to supply the answer in their own words, and is thus a much more effective tool for assessing and reinforcing knowledge.”

“In today’s environmentally conscious digital society, it makes sense for certification candidates to use electronic flash cards instead of those made from paper,” said Tim Warner, Product Editor for Cert Flash Cards Online and host of the InformIT Certification Reference Guide. “Most folks carry a laptop or a Web browser-enabled mobile phone or PDA, so why not save some trees by using the online Cert Flash Cards?”
