Presentation
CompTIA Server+ is an internationally recognised certification for mastering installation, maintenance, security and troubleshooting of IT service infrastructures, particularly server hardware and software.
Our 5-day CompTIA Server+ course is based on the skills required to configure server operating systems and in-depth networking knowledge. You will cover server architecture, administration and storage, security, networking and disaster recovery.
After these theoretical and practical lessons, you can take the CompTIA SK0-005 exam, included in our offer. This exam is a prerequisite for CompTIA Server+ certification, demonstrating the skills needed to work in data centres and cloud infrastructures (see the Certification tab for details).
Objectives
By the end of the CompTIA Server+ course, you will be able to:
- understand, configure and support business server hardware components;
- administer and maintain servers, including OS configuration, permissions management and virtual server implementation;
- support storage devices, including resource planning;
- implement security procedures for physical data and network communications;
- configure system network connectivity, including physical and virtual devices;
- understand disaster recovery principles and apply backup solutions;
- detect and resolve server hardware, software, connectivity, storage and security incidents;
- take the SK0-005 exam and earn CompTIA Server+ certification (valid for life).
