Designing networks that scale as the organization grows is a key qualification for a talented network consulting engineer. When the interviewer at Cisco asks you about this, you should have a clear answer as to how you design networks that are cost-effective for the organization's current needs that can scale easily over time. Your answer can include solutions such as scalable technology, systems, and software that are easily upgraded or expanded, providing standby cabling solutions, designing data centers for growth, and utilizing third-party and service provider resources.

"Whenever I design a network solution, I anticipate the growth prospects of the organization and the scalability of the network. Elements I use to enable the system to grow to include specifying hardware and software that is easily expanded or updated, provisioning dark fiber that can be brought online as Cisco adds more users, provisioning data centers with additional capacity, and other similar measures. I also maintain relationships with third-party providers and cloud service organizations. These enable me to provision or de-provision users on-demand or permanently extend the organization's capabilities."
