Cisco Certified DevNet Associate 200-901 Course overview
Octa Networks is the pioneer in the Cisco Certification training services in Mumbai India. Keeping in line with their track record of providing the best Cisco training services across the certification program, Octa Networks is presenting Cisco Certified DevNet Associate training
Software and networking are growing more and more interconnected every day. World of networking infrastructure engineers and the world of software developers have started overlapping to a great extent. Rightfully so, Cisco is moving in the direction of bridging the gap between the networking infrastructure engineers and the software application developers. Automation (Software-defined infrastructure programmability), New expectations for speed, scale and security along with increased performance, reliability and security (AI/ML & Business Insights) are the hallmarks of the modern Networking Infrastructure requirements. Software developers have to improve the speed of development and offer Cloud services which are quick and easy. Internet of things (connectivity) is going to increase the value of edge computing and analytics which in turn is supported by enhanced developer tools, APIs and Open Source technologies. Networking engineers are not expected to be software developers but they are expected to be able to understand the elements of programming and their expectations at least.
In keeping with the tradition of providing leadership in aligning technological advancement with the business needs, Cisco is driving the industry towards ‘Unleashing the full capabilities of the new network’ for which leveraging the New Network, Networking, and the Software Skills are the key elements.
Cisco certification program is providing leadership in shepherding the networking world by building an ecosystem of trained professionals who can develop software on top of Cisco platforms without losing the agility, relevance, flexibility, integrity, and brand. DevNet (CCDA Cisco Certified DevNet Associate) is the move in this direction. Necessary changes are being made in the CCNA, CCNP, and CCIE certification programs to reflect these objectives while launching new certifications like CCDA, CCDP, and CCDE.
CISCO’s modular CCDA training program is aimed at catering to various technological needs and demands of the individuals and the industry. CCDA certification program is designed to focus on knowledge and skills in developing and maintaining applications built on Cisco platforms. The CCDA certification covers the fundamentals of software development and design for Cisco platforms. The CCDA certification is the first step towards preparing yourselves for professional-level job roles like software developers, DevOps engineers, automation specialists are expected to embrace the potential of applications, automation, and infrastructure for the network, Internet of Things (IoT), DevOps, and Webex.
Octa Networks is launching CCDA Bootcamp and focused training facilities across India and abroad. We are proud of our track record of guiding and coaching our students to achieve their existing CCNA/CCNP and CCIE certifications. We provide the best CCNA, CCNP, CCDP Training in Mumbai. We will strive to keep up the good work we are doing as the best CCDA, CCDP training institute in India.

One of my friends recommended about this to me and unfortunately I ignored him for few months. Later I agreed him joined their classes. Since then I was blaming myself for not joining before. They are excellent in technology classes. They have students worldwide . If you want to get your #CCIE_Digit this is the right place for sure. When it comes to RnS classes, Sancchit Puri, You are the best!!

Best training institute in india
I am currently learning CCNA devnet from Octanetwork. Instructor Mr. Vasim Dhunna has a great grip over python and automation tools like docker & ansible .He has a very good knowledge on devnet and he covered all the topics that is mentioned in the course outline .
It is the first time that I have taken an Octa Network training of the new DEVNET Certifications. Our instructor, Mr. Vassem Dhunna, handled it very well and he is very punctual about the sessions timing. Solve all doubts, it is a very new training for people like me who are from the world of traditional networks. Great knowledge a good instructor and course content.
