Presentación en España del programa HP ATA para el sector educacional

Hola.

Ayer tuve la oportunidad de vivir en primera persona, por aquello de que participé como ponente, la presentación a nivel nacional, y en primicia, del programa de formación HP ATA.

Presentación programa HP ATA

La presentación se realizó en un salón de actos de la Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Informática (ETSINF) de la Universitat Politècnica de València. Asistieron al acto alrededor de 50 personas, el cual estuvo presidido por el vicerrector de Recursos Digitales y Formación Online, D. Vicent Botti, y el director de la ETSINF, D. Eduardo Vendrell, el responsable de HP Levante D. Mario Ruiz y un servidor.

El acto fue muy dinámico, el público asistente participó de forma muy activa, entablando un bloque de preguntas muy interesantes que nos sirvieron para profundizar en el contenido del programa formativo, que como ya sabéis incluye los módulos de dispositivos, redes, servidores & almacenamiento y tecnología cloud.

Ya son varias las personas que han mostrado su interés por este programa procediendo a matricularse en el mismo.

Estoy convencido de que actos como este nos ayudan a difundir la importancia de las certificaciones tecnológicas en este país, algo que ya en otros países se encuentra mucho más avanzado, y que desde luego en España está comenzando a «despertar» con mucha fuerza.

Pronto os contaré otros casos como este, ya que son varias las universidades interesadas en el lanzamiento de este programa.

Otro momento de la presentación

Desde aqui quiero agradecer a los miembros de UPV, especialmente a Eduardo y Mª José, su apuesta por la formación de calidad para sus estudiantes, a Mario su asistencia al acto, y desde luego a los muchos asistentes que allí se dieron cita.

Un saludo y hasta el próximo post.

HP ATA – IT for Business

Hi my colleagues, friends and followers.

Yesterday HP started a new learning line, the Business Career Track, with the new program HP – IT for Business.

The HP ATA – IT for Business certification is designed to teach business students how to achieve business results through technology

In the course, students will learn the key IT solution elements and how they are used to solve business challenges. Students will identify business problems and opportunities, identify specific technologies that support those business objectives, and evaluate various solutions from a business perspective. Students will learn about hosted, co-located, and cloud solutions, as well as the differences in functionality and cost between those and traditional on-premises solutions. In addition, students will learn about how to classify and ensure data security in each environment. The course presents several business scenarios where students will gain practical experience in defining and executing the business-side responsibilities in a technology project, and identifying the key areas where technology initiatives can go off track.

¿Cómo pretenden posicionarse los programas formativos de certificaciones en IT?

Programas certificaciones IT

Existen diversos programas formativos para certificar los conocimientos, y competencias, en IT.

Lo cierto es que cada uno pretende cubrir un segmento de mercado diferente, o dicho de otro modo, cada uno se centra en un público objetivo concreto. No obstante estos programas, como no puede ser de otro modo, se solapan en algunas de las habilidades, o competencias docentes, en las que forman.

En este post os adjunto un cuadro donde se puede apreciar el posicionamiento que cada uno de los diferentes programas quiere cubrir. Espero que os sirva de utilidad si estáis pensando en iniciar una carrera formativa en cualquiera de ellos, ya que muchos de estos representan el primer paso para una formación posterior de mayor nivel. Obviamente hay muchos otros programas, este cuadro se centra en los programas HP ATA, CCNA Cisco, CompTia Strata, MTA Microsoft y MOS Microsoft.

Un saludo y hasta el próximo post.

HP ATA – Cloud

Hi my colleagues, friends and followers.

Lets talk about the fourth HP ATA program, which is one of the most interesting: of course we are talking about cloud.

The HP ATA – Cloud certification provides the knowledge and experience required to discover and meet the business objectives of a small and medium business and to design an end-to-end IT solution that meets their unique requirements. This includes on-premises elements, hosted and cloud services. The certification also includes the knowledge and skill to deploy and troubleshoot the solution.

The skills we are going to learn in this program are:

1. Explain and recognize industry-standard cloud and virtualization technologies and their implications for customer needs

2. Plan and design end-to- end IT solutions for SMB customers

3. Install, configure, and upgrade end-to-end IT solutions for SMB customers

4. Optimize and troubleshoot end- to-end IT solutions for SMB customers

Of course all these skills have different objectives inside to design and develop cloud solutions.

HP Remote Labs give students hands-on experience managing the hardware and software used in small and medium-sized businesses, and these labs are available with all HP ATA programs.

HP Remote Labs give students hands-on experience that they will use in real-world IT jobs. The Remote Labs include:

  • Live equipment. These are not simulations. All work takes place remotely on LIVE equipment located in an HP datacenter.
  • Real-world scenarios. Placed in real-world situations, students configure systems to demonstrate their knowledge and skills.
  • Modern hardware and software. Students explore and test their capabilities on modern hardware and software used by prospective employers.
