U N I V E R S I T Y PLUMgrid UNIVERSITY Advanced Training and Certification for Networking
PLUMgrid University Advanced Training for Networking has seen rapid growth over the past 5 years. Deployed by 1000s of businesses worldwide, it is now a sought after deployment model in private and public clouds alike. In order to jump on the bandwagon organizations wonder what type of skills will network and cloud engineers need in order to design, deploy and operate networks. How will the IT department manage this transition? What are do s and don ts of Networks? To answer these important questions we established PLUMgrid University, which is a one stop shop consisting of tiered networking courses for both beginners and professionals. To become a master of Networking, PLUMgrid University offers a comprehensive training and certification program designed by networking experts for networking engineers. The core of the curricula is designed as vendor-neutral and can be applied to any deployment. The program has been designed based on PLUMgrid s first hand experience training over 1000+ people and deploying 100+ production clouds. Comprehensive Choice of Training Form Factors PLUMgrid University courses are designed to cover a balanced mix of both theory and hand-on labs and can be delivered through classroom, virtual classroom and on-site trainings. We also work with a great ecosystem of training partners to extend our outreach globally. Logo are registered trademarks of the foundation.
