Red Hat, the world's leading provider of open source solutions, has announced a new certification, Red Hat Certified Virtualisation Administrator (RHCVA), designed to equip IT professionals with the knowledge and expertise to deploy and manage virtual systems in a cloud computing infrastructure.

The RHCVA certification provides systems administrators and IT professionals with necessary training in virtualisation, which is foundational to cloud computing. The hands-on training course is designed to benefit experienced Linux, Microsoft-certified and Cisco-certified system administrators, giving them the skills to manage large numbers of servers or virtual machines using Red Hat Enterprise Virtualisation, a high-performance and scalable virtualisation solution.

“The move to cloud computing is progressing for many enterprises and forward-looking IT professionals are taking action now to acquire these new skills to manage the new generation data centres of tomorrow. As companies evolve to the cloud computing model, they look to hire skilled and qualified IT professionals that they can trust to carry out successful implementations,” said Alan Ho, senior manager, Services Marketing, Red Hat Asia Pacific/Japan.

“Over the months, we have seen considerable interest for our virtualisation courses and certifications. Given the market demands and as a leader in cloud computing, we believe it is an opportune time now to introduce this certification. Companies recognise that the open source approach to cloud computing offers them significant benefits especially in terms of interoperability,” he added.

The RHCVA certification is the latest addition to the Red Hat Academy curriculum which provides rigorous performance-based training in open source Linux solutions.
