Daily Factoid: CompTIA Training (27-Jan-12)

January 27th, 2012 by admin No comments »

Many training schools still use the rather old-fashioned idea of in-centre classes. Usually touted as a major benefit, if you talk to a student who has had to attend a few, don’t be surprised to be lectured on several if not all of these issues:

* There is often tension in many classes because students want to progress at their own pace.

* You can’t disregard the increased financial outlay of driving or taking public transport and over-night bed and breakfast either. This may well run to a lot of money – from hundreds to thousands. Do the maths yourself – it’ll shock and surprise you.

* Not wanting employers to know about the training can be high on the list of priorities to a lot of students. You don’t want to throw away any job advancement, wage increases or success at work because you’re getting trained in a different area. If your employer knows you’ve committed to certification in another area entirely, what will they think?

* How many of us have shied away from raising a hand in the air, because we didn’t want to look stupid?

* Working and living away – many attendees have to work or live somewhere else for part of their study. Workshops end up being very difficult then, unfortunately the money has already changed hands with your initial fees.

IBM Unveils Racetrack Fast Memory Chip Prototype

January 26th, 2012 by admin No comments »

IBM scientists are testing a memory chip technology they claim can achieve data access speeds hundreds of thousands of times faster than traditional hard drives or flash disks.

The prototype chip consists of 256 cells, each consisting of a single magnetic nanowire, enabling information to be stored as magnetic patterns on the tiny wires, a fraction of a millimetre in size.

Magnetic read/write heads are used to create binary magnetic patterns to regions created when electric pulses are applied to the wires…

Seagate and Western Digital Cut Hard-Drive Warranties

January 25th, 2012 by admin No comments »

Seagate and Western Digital are drastically cutting the length of the warranties on many of their hard drives, leaving buyers with less protection if the products fail.

Both companies confirmed the move, which they had previously communicated to their distributors. Seagate is reducing warranties to as short as one year, while Western Digital will now guarantee its Caviar Blue, Caviar Green and Scorpio Blue drives for two years, as opposed to three.

Daily Factoid: Database Training (25-Jan-12)

January 25th, 2012 by admin No comments »

Considering Database Qualifications :

It’s a good idea if you are just getting into IT to begin your career-path with a course in software-support. Software support will give you some entry level certifications, to help you get your first foot on the ladder, as well as provide you with an understanding of a further worthwhile side of the industry.

An excellent program for the novice is the ‘MCDST’ (‘Microsoft Certified Desktop Support Technician’). Your whole professional training track of ‘MCDST’, MCTS & ‘MCITP’ may very well be finished in just about one year if you’re studying part time outside of work.

But, as always, we recommend caution prior to making any selections in isolation. Get advice from an industry advisor to feel confident that you are entering the best program for your needs, both in terms of learning-style & choice of career. Begin with the result in mind; an inability to abide by this one simple guideline has cost thousands of students a substantial amount of money & wasted time.
