Nürnberg, 26. Oktober 2011. qSkills™, an independent IT training company, presents its training solutions for secure data management on the occasion of SNW Europe (2nd to 3rd November), Booth 78/Congress Center, Messe Frankfurt am Main. Core topics of the SNW training partner: Storage, Backup & Recovery, and Virtualization Trainings.

The Time recently wrote in a technology feature about the "faithlessness of technology! It shapes people forever, only to leave them shortly after." In plain language: Nothing is as constant as change, especially in the IT environment. The reasons are ever faster product cycles, rapidly changing requirements in organizations, and an almost unstoppable flood of data.

On the secure storage knowledge track with training partner qSkills™
The IT training provider qSkills™ demonstrates ways to gain more clarity in dealing with critical business information, its storage, and security at this year's SNW Europe, 2nd to 3rd November, Congress Center/Messe Frankfurt am Main. At Booth 78, the company showcases its expertise in today's and tomorrow's data management. Key qSkills™ topics: Storage, Backup & Recovery, and Virtualization. The focus is on training for organization-wide and efficient data management solutions. In addition to a solid overview of architecture and design of storage solutions, qSkills™ offers training on VMware™ vSphere 5 in combination with NetApp™. Other topics include NetApp™ SnapProtect, NetApp™ Ontap 8.1, as well as FalconStor and CommVault Simpana 9.

"With our training content in the storage area, we offer not only basic knowledge but also the latest technology developments from leading providers for better data management. Within the individual trainings, we place a strong focus on our special workshops. These bridge or combination workshops are characterized by the integration of different solutions and systems into an optimal IT infrastructure," says Kurt-Jürgen Jacobs, CEO of qSkills™.

For example, vSphere 5 in conjunction with NetApp™ Storage or the topic of high availability clusters for SAP™ on NetApp™ Storage.

Storage knowledge and raffle of high-quality qSkills™ training
qSkills™ is also an SNW training partner. In cooperation with SNIA, the IT training company offers free short seminars to prepare participants for the so-called SNIA Foundations exams.

He adds, "Furthermore, through our daily training work, we are very familiar with the SNIA standards."
