Top Vendors Into Data CenterTraining and Certification



After spending some time searching allover for data centers in Nigeria. i came across this two lagosdatacenter.com and ibraodbased.com but that not the purpose of this write up so what am I up to here
Just a quick  list of top vendors into data center training and certification

1. Cisco
It's time to trade-in your sheepskin for a practical education -- and a paycheck. Learn which certs will give you the best return on your investment.
Cisco offers more than routers, load balancers and switches; it also has an extensive education program covering its famous Cisco operating system (IOS) and data center technologies. Its bent is toward the networking side of the house, but, once earned, you can proudly display your Cisco certifications next to your college diploma. Especially intriguing is the Cisco Data Center Unified Computing Design Specialist track that requires a VMware certification as a prerequisite.
2. HP
HP is a long-time training vendor, and it has expanded its portfolio to include all facets of data center operations, data center management, applications, technology infrastructure and facilities. A few months spent in an HP data center technology training program will likely have you earning more than any of your college fraternity brothers. Prepare for full immersion in HP technology, but your education will easily transfer to other product lines.
3. Marist College
Marist College's Institute for Data Center Professionals is 100-percent online, up-to-date and relevant to learning current dynamic data center requirements. Its data center training faculty consists of industry professionals who offer a broad view of the practical and contemporary problems and solutions that face data center managers and staff. Founded in 2004, Marist's Institute for Data Center Professionals has backing from the National Science Foundation.
4. Data Center University
Data Center University comes to you from the people who bring you uninterruptible power from the desktop to the data center, American Power Conversion (APC). It delivers an extreme list of courses pulled directly from the daily operations manual, if one exists, of real data centers. The power distribution and power requirements courses are of particular interest in these days of ever-shrinking resources.

5. Data Center Tech Media (DCTM)
Better known in the data center trenches of the Pacific Rim, DCTM offers one of the world's better known data center certifications: The Certified Data Centre Design Professional -- CDCDP. Those who want to manage or assist in data center management from a design and operations perspective will attend courses in power, cooling, efficiency, management and Design.
6. PTS Data Center Solutions
Who better to offer training than the people who build and maintain data centers? Design, training and consulting from the guys who know the business from the slab to the light fixtures. They offer onsite specialized and custom training. You can add in a one-day data center assessment for a mere $5,000.
7. Red Hat
Yes, it's that Red Hat, the Linux people offering the Red Hat Certified Datacenter Specialist training. You must hold the Red Had Certified Engineer (RHCE) credential before you can enroll. The program covers Red Hat's virtualization solutions, storage and directory services.
8. EMC
In EMC's courses you learn about storage, virtualization and architecture all based on EMC's technologies. No surprise there. It might surprise you to know, however, that every data center in the world uses EMC's products. They might use VMware, a SAN, EMC's other software and hardware solutions or a combination but as an EMC Proven Professional, you'll walk into any data center with the right knowledge to manage those systems from day one. EMC offers certifications for all levels from System Administrator to Architect.
9. NetApp
NetApp University provides certification courses on its specific products and solutions. The value of any vendor certification depends on the popularity of its product. Where haven't you seen NetApp products? You see them in small businesses up to the largest enterprises. NetApp solutions are here to stay, and the certifications are worth their weight in real paychecks. 
hope this was helpful to you

N900 BILLION INVESTMENT HONEY POT IN DATA CENTER DEPLOYMENT


There There is a N900 billion investment honey pot in data center deployment, a critical infrastructure needed to provide faster and cheaper internet connectivity, waiting to be tapped, if only the Federal Government can resolve the power and broadband infrastructure short comings, analysts have said.  The Ministry of Communication Technology has estimated that approximately 300 data centres will be required in the coming years, to hold affordable internet services and software applications in Nigeria.  A world class data warehouse is estimated to cost between $20 million and $30 million. This means that Nigeria requires an investment of approximately N900 billion for its planned 300 data centers.
 Foreign Information Technology (IT) companies, such as Google Incorporated, Microsoft Corporation and Oracle, have at various fora, said they would be willing to invest in this place.  The companies however expressed concern that two years after the landing of fibre-optic submarine cables on Nigerias shores, the country has been unable to speed up the pace of wholesale fibre access, due to the absence of a broadband policy that promotes infrastructure sharing and competition.
  Technology firms such as Google Inc. are interested in investing hugely in data centres, if Nigeria can address the power challenge and speedily tackle the issue of lastmile connectivity and distribution capacity, so as to spread available bandwidth capacity across the entire country, Taiwo Kola-Ogunlade, communications manager, Anglophone West Africa, for Google, told BusinessDay.  Yes, broadband infrastructure is important but power is even more vital. Today, Nigeria is yet struggling with unstable power supply.Importantly, data centres consume a lot of electricity, Taofeek Okoya, director, business and strategy, for Kits Technologies, a data center infrastructure provider, told BusinessDay.
  Nigeria is indeed a huge market and the potentials here are huge for local and foreign IT companies, he said, adding that As I speak, there are lots of data center initiatives on-going in the country. A lot of banks and government agencies are building data centres.  Okoya further said there was  great necessity for data middle owners to construct competent human capacity to manage their high cost infrastructure. Data middle deployment, according to analysts and market watchers, is a huge business, capable of creating wealth and job opportunities.  BusinessDay  gathered that a large data middle might have from 100 to as many as 300 upon-site employees. But interestingly, data centres give impetus to Nigerias online business community to provide innovative services cost-effectively.
A senior executive at Microsoft West Africa, who pleaded anonymity because he was not authorised to speak, said massive investments would be ploughed into data middle deployment over the next few years.  Hopefully, when we profit power and broadband right, then technology firms like Microsoft can concentrate upon bridging Nigerias and indeed Africas digital divide.
Data centres will also make a lot of employment for Nigerians directly and indirectly, he added.  The rise in the availability of international bandwidth connectivity from underwater fibre-optic cable systems, has attracted a lot of foreign ICT companies into the country.  Data center deployment is one area expected to witness a boom in coming years. But the absence of last mile broadband connectivity, technical know-how and expertise, continue to slow down progress in data middle deployment.  Giving her perspective upon what needs to be done to address Nigerias internet access problem, Funke Opeke, chief executive officer of MainOne Cable Company, who was quoted in a recent industry report, said We really need to agree to a commercially viable framework for

Microsoft and Huawei unveil Windows Phone





For those that didnt know, Africa is one of the most rapidly growing technology markets in the world. So it comes as no surprise that Microsoft and Huawei have announced a new Windows Phone designed just for Africa called the "Huawei 4Afrika," part of a new Microsoft initiative called "4Afrika Initiative."
"Designed specifically as an affordable option for students, small businesses, developers, and first-time smartphone owners, the Huawei 4Afrika with Windows Phone 8 will make its debut later this month in seven countries: Angola, Egypt, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Morocco, Nigeria, and South Africa," Microsoft stated in an official blog post. The phone is available in four different colors: blue, red, black, or white.
What about specs you ask? It has a 4-inch 480 x 800 display, dual-core 1.2 GHz Snapdragon processor, front and rear-facing cameras, 10mm case, and 4GB of internal storage. "According to Huawei, the phone delivers a whopping 420 hours of standby time (that’s a tad over two straight weeks, folks) thanks to its built-in power-saving technology," Microsoft adds.
This isn't the first Windows Phone to hit Africa, just the first from Huawei. This phone is special because it features custom apps created by African developers for African consumers and has a market-specific store within the larger Windows Phone Store for downloading locally-relevant apps and content. "We believe there has never been a better time to invest in Africa and that access to technology—particularly cloud services and smart devices—can and will serve as a great accelerator for African competitiveness," Microsoft mentioned in a statement

Software maker Oracle Corp will buy Acme Packet Inc for $1.7 billion




Acme is best-known for selling hardware that telecommunications companies and big corporations buy to manage the transmission of phone calls using the same technology as Internet communications.

Oracle is the world's No. 3 software maker and one of the top makers of high-end business computers. Analysts said the deal could signal a broader move into networking equipment, one of the few areas in technology where Oracle is not a major player.

"We have been expecting Oracle to make a bigger push into the networking market," said Brian White, an analyst at Topeka Capital Markets. "Convergence across the IT world appears to be inevitable."

Analysts described Acme as a good fit for Ellison's company because it expands existing ties with telecommunications providers, many of whom are already heavily dependent on Oracle's business management software and database for running their internal operations.

"It's Oracle continuing to broaden out their product and footprint step by step," said FBR Capital Markets analyst Dan Ives. "This fits right in with their strategy."

Acme said that 89 of the world's top 100 communications companies use its products to help deliver communications traffic. They include BT Group Plc, China Telecom Corp, Microsoft Corp's Skype, O2 and Verizon Wireless.

Analysts said Acme's jewel is its software, which they expect Ellison to bundle into appliances running on Oracle's existing line of Sun computers. They expect Oracle to build out a new line of networking equipment running on Sun servers, with Acme Packet being one of the first such products.

The agreed-upon price represents a 22 percent premium to Acme Packet's closing price on the Nasdaq on Friday. Oracle agreed to pay $29.25 per share in cash, representing a fully diluted equity value of $2.1 billion.

Oracle shares were down 2.9 percent at $35.14 on Monday afternoon on the Nasdaq. Shares of Acme Packet were up 22 percent at $29.23.

An Oracle spokeswoman declined comment.

In July, Oracle bought Xsigo, another company involved in this emerging and rapidly growing technology area that has become known as software-defined networking. Its products allow businesses to reduce the amount of networking gear in data centers by replacing much of their functionality with software that is centralized in one or more servers.

Cisco and Oracle rival VMware Inc have also made several acquisitions of software-defined networking companies over the past year.

"Software-defined networking is still in the early stages, but it is something that Oracle is clearly looking at," said Gartner analyst Akshay Sharma.

Oracle did not disclose terms of the Xsigo deal, one of about a dozen companies it bought in 2012.

"Acme is a quick, easy beachhead for them," said Maxim Group analyst Greg Mesniaeff. "They have a lot more to do, but it certainly is a start."

Shares of Acme rival Sonus Networks Inc also rose on the news, and were up 17.5 percent at $2.68 on Monday afternoon.

Acme has been hit by weak telecom spending in the last few quarters as carriers spend less on new projects and delay existing ones. Its shares had fallen 18 percent in the last year as of Friday.

Also on Monday, Acme reported fourth-quarter earnings of 9 cents per share, excluding items, on revenue of $70.7 million.

Analysts expected an adjusted profit of 8 cents per share and revenue of $68.9 million, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
