Following its Microsoft Server 2008 launch last week, Microsoft Australia has unveiled a series of training sessions aimed at skilling up wannabe Server 08 experts.
Microsoft released the latest version of its
Windows operating system for servers last week, marking its
first major challenge against VMware, the leader in
virtualisation.
Speaking at the Australian unveiling, Martin Gregory, director
Server and Tools, Microsoft Australia said that the launch
represented the biggest outreach exercise to IT professionals and
developers in Microsoft's history. Now the software giant is
backing up its launch with two separate training initiatives aimed
at both novices and experts.
The first, dubbed 'Fast Track Fridays' will be run by a host of
Microsoft partners including, IT Training & Solutions, excom,
Advanced Training, Dimension Data Learning Solutions, Hands On
Computer Training International, ITTS, New Horizons Learning
Centres and Forsythes. They will focus on skilling Server 08
neophytes with the basics of the new application.
Specific dates, pricing and session topics can be accessed through
the Microsoft Fast Track site which supplies links
to each participating training partner and their details.
In addition to its Friday training sessions, Microsoft Australia
will also pilot a training session dubbed 'Microsoft Night School'
to be run on Wednesday nights starting in mid April. Launched in
response to demand from partners seeking after-work training
opportunities, 'Microsoft Night School' will aim to provide
partners with "Readiness Training" on Windows Server 2008, MOSS and
SQL Server 2008.
The first ‘Night School' will kick off at 4.30pm on April 23rd in
Sydney and will then take place on a monthly basis.
