Multivendor Approach to IT Infrastructure

As businesses make decisions on how to build out their IT infrastructure, one of the first choices is whether to use a single vendor for all their computer networking needs or to go with a multivendor model. There are pros and cons to each side, but the growing complexity of computer networks suggests that a multivendor approach will continue to gain traction since different vendors can bring different strengths.

ITIL certifications take second place among the most popular IT certifications. Leading the way is ITIL Foundation, with 93% of all ITIL-certified pros in North America holding this cert.

ITIL Practitioner is the second most popular IT service management certification in North America, followed by ITIL Service Lifecycle: Service Operation, ITIL Service Lifecycle: Service Transition and DevOps Foundation/Fundamentals.
3. Microsoft Certifications

Not surprisingly, Microsoft is third on the list, with 16% of all respondents owning at least one Microsoft certification. The retired Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) and Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT) were two of the most popular certifications in this category.

Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert (MCSE): Server Infrastructure is held by 20% of Microsoft-certified professionals in North America. Microsoft Certified Solutions Association (MCSA): Windows Server 2008 (19%) and MCSA: Windows Server 2012 (17%) aren’t far behind.

For network engineers, supporting and managing these multivendor environments will demand top skills. CompTIA Network+ helps IT pros build these skills and prove them to potential employers. CompTIA IT certifications are vendor neutral, which means IT pros who have them know how to apply their skills to any equipment.
