Training goals

code: CT-SERVER | version: SK0-005

CompTIA Server+ is a global certification that validates the skills necessary to be a server administrator. It is the only industry certification that covers the latest server technologies including virtualization, security and network-attached storage.

 

This course can benefit you in two ways. If you intend to pass the CompTIA Server+ (Exam SK0-005)certification examination, this course can be a significant part of your preparation. But certification is not the only key to professional success in the field of server management. Today's job market demands individuals with demonstrable skills, and the information and activities in this course can help you build your sysadmin skill set so that you can confidently perform your duties in any entry-level server administration role.

 

On course completion, you will be able to achieve the following:

  • Understand server administration concepts.
  • Understand virtualization and cloud computing.
  • Understand physical and network security concepts.
  • Manage physical inventory and assets.
  • Manage server hardware.
  • Configure storage management.
  • Install and configure an OS.
  • Troubleshoot OS, application, and network configurations.
  • Maintain and manage servers post-installation.
  • Manage data security.
  • Manage service and data availability.
  • Decommission servers.

 

Skills you'll learn

  • Install physical hardware, configure storage solutions, and perform hardware maintenance for server hardware installation and management.
  • Manage server operating systems, configure network services, implement high availability, and utilize virtualization technologies for effective server administration.
  • Apply server hardening techniques, implement data security measures, and develop disaster recovery and backup strategies to enhance security and disaster recovery.
  • Diagnose and resolve issues related to hardware, software, connectivity, storage, and security through effective troubleshooting.

 

Job roles that benefit from Server+ skills

  • Server Administrator
  • Data Center Technician
  • Systems Engineer
  • IT Operations Specialist
  • Hardware Support Technician
  • Network Administrator
  • Cloud Engineer (Hybrid Infrastructure)
  • Storage Administrator (SAN/NAS)

 

This course is ideal for those who physically or remotely manage hardware in server rooms and data centers. The training places significant emphasis on system resiliency (RAID), virtualization, and the physical and logical security of server resources.

 

Each participant in an authorized training CompTIA Server+ Prep Course held in Compendium CE will receive a free SK0-005 CompTIA Server+ Certification Exam vouchers.
