New Horizons Learning Group, a leading training partner for VMware, IBM, Microsoft, Red Hat and Cisco, has entered into a unique partnership with Burstorm, a cloud design and sourcing platform provider, to >help tackle the cloud skills gap by delivering hands-on training to >cloud architects, solutions engineers and IT professionals.
New Horizons will leverage Burstorm’s intelligent platform as >part of its >new one-day, five-hour course, “ Cloud Planning, Design and Optimization .” Specifically, the Burstorm platform will be >used in >a hands-on workshop instructing IT >professionals on how to >model, design, benchmark and optimize cloud infrastructure.
The companies are seeking to >close the widening cloud skills gap. Research from IDC estimated that last >year as many as >7 million cloud-related jobs could not be >filled due to >lack of experience, training or certification in cloud solutions.
“The demand for cloud expertise continues to >grow,” said Ryan Landry, Vice President and GM for New Horizons Learning Group. “However, practical experience is >hard to >come by, which is >why we are excited to offer students access to >Burstorm’s innovative design and sourcing application.”
Burstorm’s platform not only enables engineers to >design cloud environments, but to >do so using real-time inventory and pricing information on more than 40,000 cloud products from hundreds of providers worldwide. As a result they can simultaneously consider not just technology but economics and performance as >well, reducing a task that normally takes days and weeks to >minutes.
“We created the Burstorm platform to >make it easier for cloud architects to >do their jobs,” said Brandon Abbey, CEO of Burstorm. “It only makes sense to >also use it to >help them learn how to >do their jobs.”
The instructor-led course, “Cloud Planning, Design and Optimization” will be >offered via New Horizon’s online training platform beginning in >mid April. Students completing the course will receive a certificate of completion and the rights to >use the Burstorm application for three months.
