Recently, two of our Information Technology (IT) personnel, Cole Shifflett and Davin Rossi, undertook professional development training to refine their skillsets. Following a multiweek course , they have earned credentials as a Nutanix Certified Professionals - Multicloud Infrastructure (NCP - MCI).
This certification validates their skills and abilities to deploy and manage virtual infrastructure components and virtual machines, perform operational maintenance tasks, and initiatie disaster recovery. Additionally, the exam validates a candidate ’ s ability to configure user roles and remediate infrastructure alerts and events. In addition to the course, certification requires 1 - 2 years of IT infrastructure experience, and one year of Nutanix Virtualization experience. Cole and Davin plan to use this knowledge to “ serve the County with better management of resources within our current cloud services for programs and storage. We are working to improve redundancy and service availability for all users within the organization with Nutanix ’ s features and tools. This certification validates the training and study we put in to work towards that goal and keep our systems running. ” Cole Shifflett (left) and Davin Rossi (right) with their recently earned certifications!
