SNW Europe: qSkills™ training for the modern data center

Nuremberg, October 25, 2010. The independent IT training provider qSkills™ presents its training know-how on October 26 and 27 as part of SNW Europe, Congress Center/Messe Frankfurt. Visitors at booth 94 will get an insight into the latest training programs on virtualization, storage, and backup & recovery. qSkills™ offers comprehensive and targeted training strategies for today's and tomorrow's data centers.

Modern IT infrastructures must be available, scalable, and secure - all while under high cost pressure. These requirements are met with increasingly complex solutions. It is no coincidence that analysts such as Gartner consider virtualization solutions and the topic of Dynamic Data Center as top priorities in the IT environment. Especially virtual server and storage resources have now been implemented in many organizations. They are intended to help streamline internal processes to be lean, flexible, scalable, and efficient at the same time. Due to the central approach of these solutions, dependencies are increasing, and the corresponding risks need to be managed. The overarching goal is to reduce administration and operating costs and establish secure infrastructures for a modern data center (DC).

Cross-product expertise
The complexity of technical challenges in data management requires comprehensive knowledge. Only in this way can risks in central IT environments be managed and controlled prudently and holistic infrastructure and management approaches integrated into organizations. This is also confirmed by Kurt-Jürgen Jacobs, Managing Director of the IT training specialist qSkills™. "One essential task for companies is to understand the constantly changing technical possibilities in their entirety and to increase IT performance by using an optimal combination of solutions and their integrations." Jacobs adds, "Only in this way can a sustainable data management foundation with optimal performance be created in an increasingly dynamic IT environment." A deep expertise is particularly necessary in the central areas of virtualization and storage - be it in server, storage, and desktop virtualizations, storage management, or backup & recovery. qSkills™ demonstrates its comprehensive knowledge on these topics at SNW Europe, Booth 94 (Congress Center/Messe Frankfurt).
