(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Cloud computing platform software and utility computing services developer 3Tera (www.3tera.com) has announced new educational and certification programs to provide customers with expertise in building world-class cloud computing services and solutions.
According to its Wednesday announcement, two certification programs are initially available, Certified Cloud Operator and Certified Cloud Architect, designed to address the needs of cloud computing professionals, and to facilitate the rapid deployment of cloud computing solutions.
“Rapid development and deployment of applications are key reasons thousands of users are adopting cloud computing through our service providers and we’ve designed our certification programs with that in mind,” 3Tera marketing and product management senior vice president Bert Armijo said in a statement. “Our certification programs offer instruction and hands-on labs covering the essential elements needed for rapid success in the cloud – basic concepts, advanced technologies, best practices, automation, and business continuity.”
The Certified Cloud Operator program is targeted toward service providers, enterprises operations professionals and systems integrators, responsible for the deployment and operation of cloud services. It covers the process of installing, configuring and maintaining the computing fabric used for building cloud computing services. Emphasis is placed on hardware requirements, service configuration, hardware failure troubleshooting, provisioning of customers, and configuration of virtual private data centers.
For system architects, IT operations professionals, application developers and systems engineers, the Certified Cloud Architect program provides guidance for the design, integration, provisioning, deployment and management of distributed applications. Participants learn the architectural concepts of the AppLogic cloud computing platform, step-by-step procedures for deploying, operating and managing applications in the cloud, best practices for security, testing and scaling applications, and how to architect for business continuity.
Mark Ortenzi, president of Cari.Net, which partnered with 3Tera nine months ago, said cloud computing has become the fastest growing, and most profitable part of its operations. “To meet this demand, we now have five 3Tera Certified Cloud Computing Operators and Architects well-versed in the deployment and management of customers’ solutions available 24/7 in all of our five data centers,” Ortenzi said in a statement.
3Tera’s cloud computing training and certification programs are available to IT professionals who are either evaluating or using the AppLogic cloud computing platform. Certification is awarded upon successful completion of the training coursework and online testing.
