A while back when I started writing this blog, I said I would be including some information about network interoperability. The first idea I hit on that I thought would be of interest to the majority of of folks was interoperability between Cisco and HP Procurve gear. With HP’s acquisition of 3Com (most especially the H3C and Tipping Point portions of 3Com) nearly complete, this probably will become even more important.
Lucky for you, I’m not the only one here who thinks it is a pretty interesting topic. We thought enough of it that we’ve just recently partnered with Class on Demand and produced a Cisco/ProCurve interoperability course that you can take from the comfort of your own desk!
The class is taught by John Lancaster, a colleague of mine for more than 5 years now whom I can say with no reservations is an expert in this particular subject matter.
I admit that I might be a bit less than totally objective… Frankly I think we have some the best teachers in the industry around here, but if you’d like a bit more of an unbiased opinion you can check out HP Procurve and Cisco networks getting along? on http://www.thevarguy.com. For information on the class and some sample video clips, you can hit up http://www.classondemand.com/IT/procurve_preview.
Cheers!
