During autumn 2012, Cisco networking Academy at VSB-Technical University of Ostrava started to provide instructors a nice opportunity to accelerate their career development.
The project called Simplab supports instructors who prepare for advanced Cisco certifications requiring good practical configuration skills.
Simplab provides easy remote access to bunch of network devices in topology corresponding to CCIE labs racks provided by Internetworking Experts (http://www.ine.com). CCIE preparation labs from this world-known training partner were bought by our academy to give instructors additional opportunity to extend their networking expertise.
As former academy instructor, I can personally confirm that Simplab really simplified my preparation for CCIP certification and is an invaluable tool for CCIE preparation. It helps me to practise from anywhere, making the preparation process much more efficient and comfortable.
