Press Release - October 29, 2004 "Both programs are designed to increase the base of technical knowledge on Linux and Linux-based solutions in the market today, giving enterprise customers the confidence they need to deploy Linux strategically. Linux is the fastest growing server operating environment and Nettech is making a significant commitment to driving Linux into the enterprise," said Swapan Purkait, Manager, Nettech. "For enterprises to adopt Linux, and Linux solutions, they need to know that there's a pool of expertise they can tap to install and manage those Linux environments, whether through their internal IT staff or through a trusted partner. The Network Management certifications, which focus on developing real hands-on capabilities, will give them the required confidence." The Certification requires a core understanding of Linux, Nettech in association with both the B-schools will offer an intensive thirty-day course on Linux Services, which delivers file, print, messaging, directory and management services on Linux, as well as installing, configuring, and troubleshooting those services. Finally, candidates will need to pass the Online as well as simulated LAB examination to test real competency and skills operating in Linux environments. Skills to Meet IT Industry Need "Corporate houses want to be assured that staff, consultants and partners involved in their Linux adoption are competently trained and certified. Our certification is no 'paper certification'," said Dr. Gopal Krishna Nayak, Prof Information System, XIMB. "Candidates must demonstrate they can handle practical challenges on Linux by completing randomly selected scenarios requiring the resolution of a given problem or process, all within a specified time period. Our lab test enables us to challenge students to demonstrate that they have not only learned the concepts taught in our courses, but can practically apply the knowledge they have acquired in live environments." "This bold step by Nettech supports our efforts to provide training that meets industry standards for engineering graduates, The goal is to foster future success by teaching these students transferable, marketable skills in addition to reinforcing high academic achievement," said Dr. Gopal Krishna Nayak, Prof. Information System, XIMB. "By ensuring that our young people have marketable skills, we are also meeting the needs of our community for a knowledgeable workforce - and the needs of our nation for a competitive edge in the global economy."
