Customized storage training in theory and practice

Nuremberg, March 5, 2010. The independent IT training provider qSkills™ is expanding its training offerings in the area of storage concepts and solutions (including architecture, design, and operations). As an authorized Netapp partner, qSkills™ is also increasing its D-A-CH presence with storage workshops at the new location in Zurich. To be seen at the NetApp™ Innovation in March in Baden, Switzerland.

Efficient and flexible IT infrastructures are in high demand among decision-makers. This is also supported by current figures. The IBM SME study "Inside the Midmarket" from last year concludes that efficiency and productivity are among the top IT topics, with around 83 percent. Modern storage technologies offer a way to increase performance, allowing for optimization of data storage and cost reduction.

In Focus: Storage. Established and Current Technological Developments
The demand for high-quality IT training is growing. Kurt-Jürgen Jacobs, Managing Director of qSkills™, acknowledges this: "We are seeing a high demand for professional IT training, especially in the storage sector. Many medium-sized companies have a significant need for storage technologies." He adds: "In addition to individual technology deployment, knowledge transfer is crucial. Only with solid expertise can the respective solutions be effectively integrated into one's own company and ensure optimal IT operations."

qSkills™ has responded to this trend by offering tailored storage training in theory and practice at the training center in Nuremberg. As an authorized NetApp™ partner, participants can take advantage of a wide range of current training on storage concepts and solutions, including topics such as architecture,
design, and operations.

New Training Location in Switzerland
With a new training location in Zurich/Kloten, qSkills™ now offers its training expertise in Switzerland. The focus is on high-quality NetApp™ training in the storage sector, covering topics such as ONTAP Fundamentals, Storage Networking, and Advanced Solutions. This move represents a strategic expansion of qSkills™' training activities in the D-A-CH market. "Furthermore, we are responding to our customers' call for a stronger internationalization of our training offerings," says Kurt-Jürgen Jacobs. qSkills™ plans to expand its training activities at the new location in Zurich and in other countries, including Austria, in the medium term.

qSkills™ will present its first public business card at the NetApp™ Innovation on March 10 in Baden, Switzerland. Interested parties can learn about the range of services in the storage environment at the qSkills™ booth at the TRAFO Culture and Congress Center.
