Netcordia, Inc. is a privately held developer and marketer of network configuration and change management software. Founded in 2000 by Terry Slattery, the first non-Cisco employee to be awarded the Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert certification, Netcordia was created to develop network software and applications that automate the management of network configurations, by tracking network changes and compliance requirements, such as PCI DSS,[2] HIPAA, SOX and GLBA, and correlating how change impacts network health and performance.
In May 2010, Infoblox announced that it had acquired Netcordia in order to broaden its range of network infrastructure automation products.[3]
Headquartered in Annapolis, Maryland, Netcordia also maintains a regional sales office in the United Kingdom. Netcordia’s customers include the United States Army,[4] TIAA-CREF, Duke University, CareFirst Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Texas A&M University,[5] Neiman Marcus, and The Container Store.[6] Privately held, Netcordia is funded by Novak Biddle Venture Partners, Trinity Ventures, and Gold Hill Capital.[7] In 2009 Netcordia was ranked the thirtieth fastest-growing privately held software company in the United States by Inc. Magazine[8] and among Red Herring's Top 100 Most Promising Tech Companies in North America.
The Skills Gap Challenge
As the network gains mission-critical status, a key ingredient of success for businesses will be the ease with which they can implement and manage networking solutions.
This requires that businesses develop employees with the networking skills necessary to take advantage of advancing technology. Running counter to this growing need for skills is a critical shortage of skilled network professionals. The Bureau of Labor Statistics, for example, projects an additional 2 million workers will be needed to fill IT jobs over the next ten years. And businesses are already reporting difficulties in filling networking positions today. To overcome the skills gap challenge, most businesses offer training to help their staff develop the skills necessary to compete.
Beyond the need to train its existing workforce from a capabilities perspective, leading businesses understand the positive impact a strong training program can have on recruiting and retention. Networking professionals, busy and in demand, recognize the need for continuing education and certification as technologies advance and their careers develop. And these technical professional are increasingly looking to their employers to sponsor training that offers them the opportunity to advance and expand their skill set.
