CompTIA Server+ 國際認可證書課程

CompTIA (The Computing Technology Industry Association) 於 1982 年成立，其推行的 Server+ 認證是一套中立的 (Vendor Neutral) 國際認證，目的是要確認您擁有建立、管理、保護與優化各種伺服器的能力。

CompTIA

為何要考取 CompTIA Server+ 認證？

• 因其中立的特性，通常成為投身 I.T. 界人士首先考取的認證。
• 全球 50 萬人持有，反映其受歡迎程度。
• Server+ 認證重視今日與未來的 I.T. 技術需求，如虛擬化數據中心，軟件定義網絡，資訊安全及各式儲存設備及伺服器硬件等等。
• 領先而中立的認證，會被全球各地的國際級機構重視，並被設定為必要的入職條件。例如 Intel, HP, Dell, IBM 及 Lenovo Partner Network 技術人員便必需持有 CompTIA Server+ 認證。
• 為進修 Microsoft MCSA / MCSE、Linux LPI、VMware VCA 等等更高級的商業認證作準備。
