EMC Launches Cloud, Big Data Analytics Courses In India

EMC Corporation has announced EMC Proven Professional training and certifications to help Indian businesses address skill transformation and the looming cloud computing and data science talent gap. EMC will offer cloud computing, data science and Big Data analytics training and certification programs with an “open” curriculum to help develop professionals who can extract more value and insight for competitive advantage from the new expanse of data that businesses create and capture. In addition, the company aims to train over 30,000 engineering students in the first year itself as part of its EAA program.

The new data science and Big Data analytics training and certification helps build a solid foundation for data analytics with a particular focus on the opportunities and challenges presented by Big Data. Big Data and new analytics technologies are now unlocking new possibilities for the creation, collection and insightful analysis of data to drive meaningful and actionable business decisions and data science professionals/teams will help shepherd their organisations to realising increased success and the full potential from Big Data.

The new Cloud Infrastructure and Services associate-level training and certification provides a strong and essential foundation of technical principles and concepts to enable all IT professionals who will be required to collaboratively make informed business and technical decisions on migration to the cloud. The expert-level Cloud Architect IT-as-a-Service training and certification helps IT professionals – cloud architects, designers and consultants – evolve virtualised infrastructures into cloud-based, IT-as-a-Service environments that fully realise the agility and cost efficiencies that cloud computing offers.

According to Rajesh Janey, President, EMC India & SAARC “In the emerging digital era, individual need and sentiment has become more prevalent thanks to the proliferation of social and other online networks. Businesses and Government have the opportunity to understand this on a mass scale in real time and take necessary steps that will transform services and service delivery forever. While India has the necessary technical manpower, it is important to skill them in these new areas in order to leverage the power of analytics and deliver benefits. Our new courses will address that gap and provide industry certification and skills development in the areas of cloud computing and Big Data analytics.”

In addition to customers and partners, EMC will offer these courses to their university partners through its EMC Academic Alliance (EAA) program, an EMC initiative that aims to collaborate with the leading educational institutions around the world to address the emerging knowledge gap in the areas of Cloud Computing and Data Science and Big Data Analytics.”
