Santa Clara, Calif., Feb. 19, 2025 – Aviatrix®, the cloud network security company, today introduced a new Hybrid Cloud Specialty course for the Aviatrix Certified Engineer (ACE) Program, the industry’s leading secure multicloud networking certification. The Hybrid Cloud Specialty training is designed to empower IT professionals to build secure and high-performance hybrid cloud environments.
While approximately 80% of enterprises have implemented a hybrid cloud strategy, organizations continue to face significant pain points in hybrid cloud networking. Lagging network security is a major concern, as traditional datacenter-to-cloud connections can slow operations and expose networks to risks. Visibility challenges emerge when managing traffic across on-premises locations or private cloud to public cloud environments without central oversight, resulting in bottlenecks and overlooked security vulnerabilities. Additionally, deployment delays stem from inconsistent configurations and lengthy setups, disrupting operations and negatively impacting performance.
The ACE Hybrid Cloud Specialty course addresses the critical pain points IT professionals face in hybrid cloud networking, offering in-depth, hands-on training covering essential use cases and design patterns, including:
- Secure and high-performance hybrid cloud using Aviatrix Edge for datacenter/colocation
- Secure and high-performance hybrid cloud using Aviatrix Edge for Equinix
- Secure and high-performance hybrid cloud using Aviatrix Edge for Megaport
- Secure hybrid cloud using third-party devices in on-prem data centers and collocations
“The hybrid cloud market is expected to reach around $262 billion by 2027, and enterprises are going to need skilled talent to ensure their massive investments are being streamlined and optimized to their fullest,” said François Rall, Cloud Connectivity Manager at Orange Business. “We have found incredible value in the ACE Program trainings for the delivery of cloud and multicloud networking and security over the networks of our customers. The Hybrid Cloud course will be hugely beneficial for anyone looking to build essential skills to confidently create secure, high-performance hybrid cloud environments.”
The ACE Hybrid Cloud Specialty course empowers IT professionals to implement fast and consistent configurations with advanced routing and segmentation, ensuring only authorized traffic flows through the system – thus significantly enhancing security and performance. Network administrators, network engineers, and network architects completing this course will gain deep understanding about how to achieve programmatic deployment, low-latency connectivity, fully encrypted traffic, advanced security capabilities, and operational consistency.
“The ACE Hybrid Cloud Specialty course is a direct response to the real-world challenges our customers face,” said Joe Amendolara, Senior Solutions Architect for ACE at Aviatrix. “We’ve distilled our extensive experience working with thousands of deployments into a practical, hands-on curriculum that addresses the issues and challenges IT professionals encounter every day. This course tackles the latest concerns in today’s complex and rapidly evolving cloud environments, empowering individuals to navigate and excel in their hybrid cloud strategies.”
