Actually in this case I think we only got to pick one out of three because it’s been neither cheap nor fast Without boring you will all the specifics of the new system, here are the important highlights about it:įor me personally this is a big one, because I really really despise all forms of DRM. As they say in project management you have the options to have it cheap, fast, and good, but you only get to pick two out of the three. To accomplish this we’ve internally developed a new content management and delivery system, which is part of the reason for a delay in our release. With DC and with our other workbook products going forward, we’re going to be focusing on an online delivery primarily, with print still available at your own discretion, but not the main focus. In the past our workbooks were formatted primarily for print, with online delivery secondary. The first big change for the DC product line is that the workbook will be delivered exclusively as online content. This August will mark the 10-year anniversary since Brian Dennis and I started INE, and we’ve learned a lot over the years as to what works and doesn’t work in respect to building product lines. Since Data Center is a completely brand new product line for INE, it has given us carte blanche to build it differently from the get-go, taking into account a lot of feedback that we’ve gotten from customers over the years on how INE’s content is produced and delivered for other tracks. Now onto the real order of business, the DC Workbook and Rack Rentals! Those of you that have been following our DC products know that we’re a little behind schedule for the release of both the workbook and the rack rentals, and I wanted to address here specifically the reasons why. The link to attend can be found in your members account under the All Access Pass section, as seen below: Class starts tomorrow morning at 07:00 PDT (GMT -7). All other AAP members are more than welcome to attend the lecture portion of class, which will include me showing hands-on examples, explaining the technologies, and taking questions. For those who formally registered for class you already know who you are, and you will be getting equipment access as this class is mostly a hands-on one. Attendance for this class is split into two groups, those who formally registered, and AAP members. Like I said, next week I’m running an online version of our Implementing Nexus 5-Day Bootcamp. This post ran a little longer than I had initially anticipated, so below are some quick links to the particular sections that you may be interested in: Update: The CCIE Data Center Technology Lab Workbook is now available hereĪfter a long and highly anticipated wait, INE’s CCIE Data Center Workbook and Rack Rentals are (almost ) finally here!
