Aptech, a leader in learning solutions, today announced the global launch of an executive program in cloud computing.
The program will be rolled out in 35 countries and in phases starting with India, Vietnam and Malaysia. The duration of the course is 40-hours, divided in three levels; level 100 (16 hours), level 200 (12 hours) and level 300 (24 hours), a company statement said here.
"Cloud computing is now a critical aspect of IT and many companies are looking at adopting cloud services. Our courses in cloud computing will help to skill as well as re-skill the IT industry both within and outside India," Aptech's Managing Director and CEO Ninad Karpe said.
International Data Corporation (IDC) expects spending on IT cloud services to grow almost three-fold, reaching $42-billion by 2012 and accounting for 9 per cent of revenues in five key market segments.
Cloud computing is a type of computing, comparable to grid computing that relies on sharing computing resources rather than having local servers or personal devices to handle applications.
