MCSE: Private Cloud certification
Microsoft is one of the biggest players on the certification front, and the MCSE: Private Cloud certification is the company’s first effort on a certification that pertains to cloud computing. As with most other certifications administered by the company, the MCSE: Private Cloud certification is decidedly Microsoft-centric, and also mandates the passing of multiple examinations. Specifically, the certification covers the ability to install, configure and administer Windows Server 2012, as well as the ability to monitor, operate, configure and deploy System Center 2012. In addition, the certification will touch on the basics, framework and background of cloud computing in general.
The impact that the cloud has on enterprise IT today can’t be denied. For all its pervasiveness, however, the cloud is still comparatively new, which makes hiring the correct employees equipped with the pertinent cloud-related skillsets all the more important. The field is constantly changing, too, which makes identifying these abilities an even more challenging one for the harried CIO or IT manager.
To help you on this front, we have identified some of the more notable cloud-related certifications. While they run the gamut from the relatively entry-level to the fairly challenging (and prestigious), they are likely certifications that you should know about as you evaluate your staff’s skillsets and go about hiring.
