Networkers Home launches certification for private cloud

BANGALORE, INDIA: The global market for private cloud computing models will increase by close to 60 pc to $11.8 billion in the next four years, according to IT industry analyst IDC.

This growth will be driven by a combination of economic recovery and IT managers' eagerness to consolidate on their "increasingly complex" virtual and physical IT infrastructures, IDC claims.

Research by the group also showed that server sales for public cloud computing will ascend by a similar rate, albeit remaining significantly smaller, to $718 million during the same timescale.

Commented Katherine Broderick, IDC research analyst, enterprise platforms and datacenter trends: "Now is a great time for many IT organisations to begin seriously considering this technology and employing public and private clouds in order to simplify sprawling IT environments."

He also added, "Many vendors are strategically advancing into the private and public cloud spaces and these players are widely varied and have differing levels of commitment."

We are seeing a very good market for engineers ready with cloud computing skills however the biggest challenge is various solutions available in private cloud market. This led us to build an absolute different certification which cover over five private cloud solutions.

Another very good thing about this program is the cost. We are bundling the program into four different certifications.
