CompTIA Server+ is a Great Choice to Transition into IT Infrastructure

 

You have decided to upskill your IT skills and move beyond an entry-level technology role to a mid-level position. Perhaps, you are transitioning into IT and know that you want to work in the area of infrastructure. One of the best ways to prove to your employer or future employers that you have the necessary skills to get the job done is to take an IT training course such as the CompTIA Server+ certification course and pass the CompTIA Server+ certification exam.

Why the CompTIA Server+ Certification?

There are so many IT certifications available to choose from that it can be overwhelming. So why would you choose the CompTIA Server+ certification? The CompTIA Server+ focuses on three important areas for administrators: the server room, the cloud and the data centre. It helps prepare you to make the best decisions for any hybrid environment because it covers those three important areas, but also because it is vendor neutral. Obtaining vendor-neutral certifications, means that you are not tied to knowledge of a specific vendor’s solutions, allowing you to be able to make the best decisions for your company.

What Does the Course Cover?

The CompTIA Server+ course by TechnoEdge Learning covers all of the skills that are on the CompTIA Server+ exam from a vendor-neutral perspective. Concepts include:

  • Understanding, configuring and supporting server components
  • Supporting storage devices technologies
  • Understanding server technologies, including virtualization, software defined networking and cloud
  • Understanding disaster recovery and implementing backup techniques
  • Diagnosing and resolving system security issues

The Exam

The CompTIA Server+ Exam is a ninety-minute exam. The exam includes multiple-choice and performance-based questions. The exam focuses on multiple vendor products and how to implement these solutions for your business. You can expect to take the exam within 3 to 12 months of signing up for the Server+ training course. The exam can be taken at any Pearson testing centre, such as Ashton Testing Centre, and online via Pearson Vue testing.

Jobs You Can Get with Server+

Infrastructure jobs allow businesses to function. With new technologies being introduced regularly, IT professionals working in infrastructure must be able to assess, support and secure infrastructure. If you enjoy problem solving, networking, have technical skills and the ability to communicate technical knowledge to non-tech professionals, the positions aligned with the CompTIA Server+ certification may be a great fit for you. CompTIA Server+ job aligned roles include:

  • Systems Administrator
  • Data Centre Technician
  • Server Administrator
  • Network Administrator
  • Field Service Technician

Still Not Sure if the CompTIA Server+ is a Good Choice?

The CompTIA Server+ certification is endorsed by some of the biggest companies from across the globe. Dell, IBM, HP, the U.S. Department of Defence, and Microsoft are just a few companies that endorse the CompTIA Server+ showing the value of this certification. In addition, the single exam format and the fact that this certification does not need to be renewed means that Server+ is cost-efficient and good for your entire career.
