Palo Alto Networks

TechNow has been involved in enterprise security architectures and education since 1990.  TechNow’s training program has followed the evolution of enterprise computing into security architectures.  Palo Alto Networks represents the current state of security product evolution.  With next generation firewall technology, the reunification of your security architecture is possible.  TechNow can present the ramifications of many centralized strategies.  All courses utilize enterprise security professionals with experience as instructors and can discuss the detail of implementation and the integration into an existing infrastructure.
Palo Alto Networks Certifications:  Accredited Configuration Engineer (ACE) take EDU-201; Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Engineer (PCNSE) take  EDU-201 + EDU-205 + EDU-221
TechNow is a mobile Pearson VUE Authorized Testing Center.  Palo Alto courses can be delivered on the customer site, with certificadtion testing on the last day of the course.  Take the course and get certfied, without  logistical effort of getting students to a training facility and the hassle of scheduling testing.

Microsoft

The Microsoft platform is arguably the largest component in any IT architecture, and rate of change in this arena makes training in the Microsoft platform a must.  TechNow can and does teach the entire gamut of Microsoft technologies, from Servers to application development. 

Here is a list of all of our Microsoft courses:

Observations of Instructor Led Training with Real Hardware

TechNow has heard many students talk about virtualized/remote training that TechNow Does Not Do.  While training our most recent offering of PA-215: Palo Alto Networks Firewall Essentials FastTrack a student told his story of how he endend up in our course.  His story we have heard for other technologies like Cisco, VMware, BlueCoat and other products.

A large percentage of training is moving to the virtualized/remote lab environments.  Students are asked to use some variant of remote access software and remote into the training company's lab environment. Our student in our Palo Alto Networks Firewall course informed us that he went to a very costly offering of that course from the vendor and was not able to perform any labs.  There were either network connectivity issues, or issues with the remote access software, or other problems.  The whole training experience was very frustrating and not productive.

We keep our labs open to students if they would like after hours, or before hours access.  Repeatedly going through a lab engrains that knowledge for later recall.  Touching hardware is so critical in understanding the problems that arise when a cable comes loose, or a cable gets plugged in the wrong port.  There are other scenarios such as just pulling the power cable, or turning off a power strip, or accidently overwriting a configuration.  These disaster scenarious requires hands-on physical access to hardware.  Preventing and recovering from disasters is what it's all about, and that requires hands-on, instructor led, real hardware.
