Leading Technical Certification and Training Company Recognized as One of the Leading Juniper Networks Authorized Education Centers SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 28 /PRNewswire/ -- VPN Dynamics, a leading technical certification and training company known for its guaranteed to run Live Online Instructor Led courses and wholly owned subsidiary of Ingram Micro Inc., today announced it has been named one of the leading Juniper Networks Authorized Education Centers (JNAEC) in the Americas for 2006-2008. As a JNAEC partner, VPN Dynamics' training engineers are authorized to provide in-depth, technical training and education courses on the full line of Juniper Network products including EX Series Ethernet Switches and JUNOS Software. Targeted at IT solution providers, technical engineers and end-users, these valuable courses are derived from Juniper Networks proprietary training curriculum and range from introductory to intermediate. "Partner training and education are critical elements within an IT vendor's channel program and have become a primary way for vendors to differentiate their business," said Jeff Borovitz, Sales Manager, VPN Dynamics. "By leveraging our Live Online training courses and skilled teaching engineers, Juniper is providing their J-Partners access to hands-on training and education that will help them specialize their business and quickly identify market opportunities around high performance networking and security." "Our engineers are big fans of VPN Dynamics' Live Online Juniper Networks training and education courses," says Steve Coscarella, Associate Director, Network Engineering for Carousel Industries, an Elite J-Partner located in Exeter, Road Island.

In addition, the instructors, lab time and content are among the best in the industry."

The JNTCP consists of platform-specific, multi-tiered tracks, which enable participants to demonstrate their competence with Juniper Networks technology through a combination of written proficiency tests and hands-on configuration and troubleshooting exams. As a JNAEC partner, VPN Dynamics uses only certified Juniper Networks instructors who have the same certification requirements and rigorous training process as Juniper Educational Services instructors. According to Borovitz, the IT training company is gearing up to offer a complete series of JUNOS training and education courses later this year.
