DDI<\/a>, which unites DNS<\/a>, DHCP<\/a>, and IP Address Management<\/a> capabilities into a single solution, is core to running the modern network. But, because each component technology often lives in different groups, it can take years to grow a DDI practitioner.<\/p>\n

To support the DDI community and accelerate practitioner competency, Infoblox is offering an all new DDI Professional Accreditation<\/a>, composed of a free prep course, which users can complete at their own pace, and an associated accreditation exam. The course focuses on protocols independent of commercial solutions, and it serves as a boot camp for the exam, which can be taken separately. <\/p>\n

The only prerequisite to starting the accreditation is knowledge of basic networking (TCP\/IP), making the course accessible to general networking professionals.<\/p>\n

The DDI Professional Accreditation provides the foundational know-how for current DDI practitioners and individuals transitioning into this specialty. Participants gain the essential knowledge needed to architect, administrate and operate DDI solutions.<\/p>\n

Accreditation holders receive a DDI Professional digital badge, which they can use to advance their careers and signal their DDI competency on their professional profiles.<\/p>\n
