Your knowledge of network protocols, equipment, emerging technology, and configurations will come in handy as you optimize client operations and modernization. Using your experience in software and hardware firewalls, optical infrastructure networking, virtual routing, and forwarding, you'll serve as a trusted advisor to clients on mission-critical projects.
