最近有很多新闻关于事物互联网（物联网）的目前和待遇的影响。这一消息最常见于解释IOT概念，因为少数制造商已经实施了此类过程。值得注意的例外是空中客车（as detailed in a recent post). Since so few examples of real world IoT applications exist, and the whole IoT concept is of a relatively recent vintage, you can expect to continue to hear lots more about it in the coming years as everyone gets up to speed with the idea and, inevitably, adapts it as a result of real world application.
One definite sign that things are moving forward at full steam around IoT is the recent announcement from思科公司是如何修改它(information technology) and OT (operations technology) training in light of the IoT. According to Cisco, major revisions have taken place with the company’s CCNP Routing and Switching certification. The company has also introduced specialist certifications pertaining to network programmability, the IoT, and business transformation.
Here’s a breakdown of the changes Cisco has made:
思科Industrial Networking Specialist:The convergence of information and operational technologies is expanding IP networking and Ethernet connectivity on the industrial plant floor. This creates demand for skilled professionals who understand three-way interactions among IT, networking, and traditional control systems. Control system engineers and plant technicians will need to be reskilled on networking to do their jobs without stoppages or downtime. To help scale IoT applications, it is currently estimated that 220,000 IT/OT engineers are needed every year. The Cisco Industrial Networking Specialist Certification is the first step that Cisco and its partners are taking to address the skills gap challenge in the IoT arena.
谈到思科的新工业网络专家等认证的重要性，是最近的评论罗克韦尔自动化的约翰ydeskog在他的博客中: “My first job as an automation engineer was about automating a manual task. It used to be that you spoke with a technician in the company, agreed on the signal levels for the input and output, the size of the internal memory for the PLC, and then it was done! Nowadays it’s about integrating production lines and sections of factories, even entire factories.”
CCNP路由和交换认证：The Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) Routing and Switching certification update covers IPv6, addressing workforce mobility and the proliferation of Internet-connected devices while supporting network scale and accommodating the continued growth of IoT.
网络可编程专家：思科正在推出四个网络可编程性专家认证：商业应用工程师，网络应用程序开发人员，网络可编程设计专家和网络可编程工程师。这些工作角色导向的认证支持技术人员更紧密地与业务应用程序集成。
思科企业IT商业专家：该认证为技术候选人提供了具有整体技能的技术候选人，验证候选人可以了解商业需求，了解IT解决方案的财务成本和福利，确定措施，以获得更广泛的IT功能，以及有效地与商业领袖有效沟通。
思科统一联络中心企业培训：The Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise (UCCE) v10.0 Training helps learners design, configure and deploy effective customer collaboration solutions with integrated cloud and mobility features and APIs.
