Becoming a knowledgeable and competent IT professional takes continuing education to ensure that an individual keeps up to date with upcoming trends and systems. Luis Palacios of XCEL Professional Services is just one of those individuals that works tirelessly at reaching Microsoft certification in order to advance his expertise and has attained his certification in MCTS Server Virtualization.
Calgary, AB -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/13/2011 -- Microsoft has developed an extensive certification program for Information Technology (IT) support professionals that includes step-by-step certifications that an IT professional can achieve at their own pace. Luis Palacios of XCEL Professional Services just recently achieved his Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) certification with Server Virtualization specialization.
Virtualization is a critical aspect of every IT department due to its capability to save money while improving business continuity. Getting certified in this field verifies that an IT specialist is highly proficient in this increasingly popular area. The TS: Windows Server Virtualization, Configuring test may be counted as credit towards the Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP) certification.
According to Mr. Palacios, "This is not an easy certification to achieve. The requirements are stringent; I needed to have more than 1 1/2 years of experience in working with multiple systems. Now that I have the certification, XCEL clients can feel reassured that I know what I'm talking about when I'm suggesting server virtualization solutions to them."
There are plenty of resources and tools that are available from Microsoft which allows IT professionals to pursue Microsoft Certification which will enable them to keep their skills relevant, applicable, and competitive.
