The Next Big Thing To Learn Is Cloud Computing

Cloud Computing - The Next Big Thing To Learn

"Whenever you roll out a new technology, there are always changes to how people perceive that technology, and the ramifications to employment that technology has. Cloud computing is disruptive, allowing fewer people to do stuff that an entire IT Shop used to do.

Gigaom this morning posts the idea that cloud computing is going to have a negative influence on the IT Job market, as much as the computer had on the typewriter market. The idea is sound; the question is how do people learn enough about cloud computing to remain competitive in the market place?

Hyper-V Labs - Experience a Half-Day Virtualisation Hands-on Lab

Experience a Half-Day Hyper-V Hands-On Lab

Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) allows you to convert existing physical computers into virtual machines through a process known as physical-to-virtual (P2V) conversion.

VMM simplifies P2V by providing a task-based wizard to automate much of the conversion process. Since the P2V process is completely scriptable, you can initiate large-scale P2V conversions through Windows PowerShell. The requirements for physical source computers depend on whether you are performing an online or offline P2V.

ITTS has developed a half-day hands-on lab, where you will perform actual P2V virtualisations on real servers. Don't practice on your live production environment! Learn about implementing virtualisation best pratices, and more importantly...Learn from our mistakes!
 
After completing this lab you will be able to: 
  • Install and verify the components required for SCVMM 2008 R2.
  • Install SCVMM 2008 R2 on a Windows 2008 R2 Hyper‑V Enabled Server

Does Certification Really Matter in IT?

Does Certification Matter in 2010?

 
"Over the last few years, it seems like technical education and corresponding credentials have begun falling by the wayside. Sure, IT administrators, technicians and other staff still need to master their respective domains. There's certainly little margin for error when you're configuring, provisioning and managing computing resources in multi-million dollar corporate data centers. So why don't industry-recognized certifications seem to matter anymore?

This worry isn't just conjecture or my own personal opinion. In late 2009, TechTarget sponsored its annual Data Center Decisions survey. The survey was designed to gather information on the technological preferences and initiatives across a cross-section of IT professionals, and it also included a few career-related questions. The career results were stunning.
