Virtualization is the new black!
Or red. Or whatever color is “in” right now. (My wife says I should stay far away from fashion analogies.)
Anyway:
You’ve probably noticed that virtualization is very hot topic right now (and given the economic events of the last couple of weeks, it’s probably getting hotter by the day). If you’re an IT Pro supporting Windows environments, I personally can’t think of a better skills investment right now than delving into our new and growing family of virtualization products and technologies, and proving your competency through certification.
We have a new series of MCTS credentials—with associated classroom training and free e-learning courses--ready and waiting that address our virtualization technologies:
- Windows Server 2008 Virtualization (Hyper-V) (Exam 70-652, available now)
- System Center Virtual Machine Manager (Exam 70-403, in beta now)
- Windows Server 2008 Application Infrastructure (Exam 70-643, available now)
- Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP) (Exam 70-656, available now)
We also have an associated MCITP credential under development for those of your responsible for the adoption and deployment of virtualization technologies. Look for it in mid-2009!
Want more info? Mark your calendars: you’re invited to attend a Live Meeting on October 15 to learn more about System Center and virtualization certifications. Register here.
