Downers Grove, ILL (July 25, 2017)<\/em> \u2014 CompTIA, the world\u2019s leading technology association and the leading provider of vendor-neutral skills certification for information technology (IT) professionals, today issued a call for beta testers for a new version of its CompTIA Cloud+ exam.<\/p>\n

The CompTIA Cloud+ beta exam (CV0-002) released today tests candidates on their understanding of how to incorporate and manage cloud technologies as part of broader IT systems operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe number of organizations that depend on cloud-based solutions to run mission critical systems continues to grow,\u201d said James Stanger, chief technology evangelist for CompTIA. \u201cBut cloud computing doesn\u2019t happen in a vacuum. Hybrid and multi-cloud deployments are the norm as the cloud is an increasingly important component in broader IT systems.\u201d<\/p>\n

To pass the CompTIA Cloud+ beta exam candidates will need to demonstrate the ability to integrate cloud solutions with existing\u001b technology systems in a way that meets specific business needs, delivers maximum benefits and works in a variety of different industries.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe content of the new beta exam reflects the collective wisdom of the industry,\u201d Stanger noted. \u201cCompTIA Cloud+ is the only vendor-neutral, performance-based certification that validates the cloud computing skills needed to meet an organization\u2019s IT infrastructure requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n

Candidates for the CompTIA Cloud+ beta exam should have two to three years of on-the-job experience in networking, storage or IT data center administration as a systems administrator, systems engineer or related position. It\u2019s also recommended, though not required, that candidates hold CompTIA Network+ and\/or Server+ certifications.<\/p>\n

CompTIA Cloud+ was introduced in 2013. Since then more than 4,500 individuals have earned the credential. CompTIA Cloud+ is globally recognized and accredited and is compliant with the ISO\/IEC 17024 standards which govern personnel certification programs.<\/p>\n

The updated version of the CompTIA Cloud+ exam is scheduled to be released during the first quarter of 2018.<\/p>\n
