Local Orange County California Computer Company Masley And Associates Gives Professional Advice On How To Choose A Computer Repair Company

Fountain Valley, CA (PRWEB) October 30, 2010

People frequently ask about the difference between the average high school “geek” that most computer consulting companies use and the professional IT person that Masley And Associates Computer Repair Orange County (http://masleyassociates.com) employs.

While it is true there are some very basic PC issues which both types of IT people can easily fix, there is a vast difference when it comes to advanced network support and more complex issues.

Masley And Associates Computer Repair Orange County uses only the top Network Engineers and Network Administrators and are able to offer them for the same low cost as a company employing less qualified personnel. Masley and Associates know how to find and retain the top IT personnel because they are highly qualified themselves.

Most other computer consulting companies are owned and run by non-technical people with sales, marketing or business backgrounds while Masley And Associates Computer Repair Orange County(http://masleyassociates.com) is owned by a network engineer and administrator with multiple certifications and sixteen years hands-on experience in the field.

Masley And Associates has sixteen years of experience in IT, Management and multiple Certifications in networking including Microsoft, Cisco and Novell – CNE, CNA, MCSE, CCIE. They have accredited, professional, certified computer technicians on staff ready to serve Orange County. Attached is what a qualified IT Manager, Network Engineer, Network Administrator resume looks like. There are certifications, real world experience and wide exposure to many different technologies.

What this means to a Masley and Associates client is greater efficiency. While it would be no problem to use a high school “geek” to add memory to a home computer, most businesses would not want a high school “geek” working on their business network. Unfortunately, sometimes that is exactly what happens.

So how does an unknowing business find true IT professionals who are competent and capable of working on their systems and network?

1. Ask exactly which ceritifications they have and make sure they are certified in the “Top Three” – Microsoft, Novell and Cisco(they take years of study and practice to obtain) Most computer consulting companies find high school “geeks” willing to work for $ 20 per hour or less, get them their A+ certification(a one-day, basic PC knowledge test) and charge more than $ 75 per hour for them! The truth is most other computer consulting companies are only qualified to replace memory or adapter cards in a PC.

2. Ask for references

3. Ask for a guarantee

4. Check BBBcom The Better Business Bureau for the company’s rating

5. Ask how long they have been working in the IT industry and a description of some of the larger, more complex projects they have worked on.

The bottom line is that a business’s network is critical to that business and belongs in the hands of the professionals in order to save time, money and effort. Masley and Associates Computer Repair Orange County (http://masleyassociates.com) are the professionals. Think of them as an outsourced IT department.

Train Signal Releases Windows 7 Deployment Training

Editors’ Choice Gold Award

Chicago, IL (Vocus/PRWEB) January 20, 2011

Train Signal, Inc, the global leader in professional computer training, announced the release of its new Windows 7 Deployment Training.

Windows 7 is the latest operating system from Microsoft. Brisk sales have many analysts suggesting that the majority of enterprises have plans to deploy Windows 7 to some part of their organization over the next few years. But rolling out a new operating system across a large organization can be time consuming and costly.

While upgrading a single computer to Windows 7 can be as simple as placing an installation disk in the DVD drive, installing and upgrading multiple computers in an organization is a lot more complex. Fortunately, deploying Windows 7 to any organization, large or small, is easier when using Windows 7 deployment tools and best practices, which Train Signal’s new training covers in-depth.

Train Signal’s Windows 7 Deployment Training offers nearly 16 hours of material on 3 DVDs. The 21 lessons cover important topics in automating Windows 7 deployment like the Microsoft Development Toolkit (MDT), Windows Deployment Services (WDS), creating and managing installation images, along with lite-touch and zero-touch installations. Since the deployment of a new operating system can be a good time to also upgrade an important application suite like Microsoft Office, Train Signal’s Windows 7 Deployment Training also covers installing and deploying Office 2010.

Instructor Rhonda Layfield is a Setup and Deployment MVP, Desktop Deployment Product Specialist (DDPS), and a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer, or MCSE (2003, 2000 and NT). She has helped businesses and organizations deploy and streamline their IT resources for almost 30 years, and currently consults for large companies showing them how to quickly and cheaply roll out Windows 7 desktops across the enterprise. She is also a presenter at international conferences like Tech-Ed USA, Tech-Ed EMEA, MMS, Techdays, TechMentor, and others and is the only person to have won the prestigious Speaker Idol award on two continents.

Layfield has also co-authored two books on Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 and is a regular contributor to Windows IT Pro Magazine. She is currently working on a Windows 7 deployment book, titled Mastering Windows 7 Deployment, which will be available later this year.

Train Signal’s Director of Sales and Marketing, Iman Jalali is excited to have Layfield’s expertise for this course. “If you’re going to learn about Windows deployment, there’s no better person to learn from than Rhonda. She has been recognized by Microsoft as the Setup and Deployment MVP and Desktop Deployment Product Specialist. She has presented at Tech-Ed, TechMentor, and WinConnections and has taught thousands of students to deploy Windows. With Rhonda’s expertise, experience and passion for teaching you can be sure you’re learning from the best,” he said.

The Windows 7 Deployment Training covers the information required to pass the Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS) 70-681 Exam, Deploying Windows 7 and Office 2010. However, this course goes well beyond what is required for the exam. Real-world scenarios and realistic lab scenarios offer hands-on experience with Windows deployment using all the tools offered by Microsoft.

Brian Green, Train Signal’s Product Development Specialist who worked with Rhonda on this course, said, “Rhonda’s training is very comprehensive as she covers every deployment tool and technique that is available for Windows 7 deployment, but what I found particularly useful is that this training is also a great resource for troubleshooting deployment problems.”

While the three DVDs that make up the course are mailed to students, those who can’t wait to get started can watch the course within minutes of signing up via instant online access. Multiple file formats make it convenient to learn virtually anywhere using almost any device capable of audio and video, and PDF files of instructor notes offer a great way to review and refresh material.

The Windows Deployment training course is currently being offered for $ 397.00 and like all Train Signal courses, Windows 7 Deployment Training is fully backed by a 90-day “Total Experience” guarantee. Train Signal offers a wide range of computer training packages covering Microsoft training, Cisco, CompTIA, VMware, and Citrix.

Train Signal Releases VMware vSphere Performance Monitoring Training

Schaumburg, IL (PRWEB) May 24, 2011

Train Signal, the global leader in professional computer training, announced the release of its new VMware vSphere Performance Monitoring Training course.

Performance management is crucial in every VMware vSphere environment, no matter how large or small. That’s why more and more companies are seeking VMware administrators with performance monitoring skills so they can get the most out of their server resources and minimize downtime. Today, being able to meet performance goals in an already deployed vSphere environment and make the right design decisions to maximize vSphere performance from the start are skills that are highly sought after.

Train Signal’s VMware vSphere Performance Monitoring Training helps VMware administrators understand the impact of performance and achieve the optimal virtual machine configuration. Students who want to learn how the different vSphere resources fit together and how they can be fine-tuned for optimal performance will get the most out of this training as they learn which tools to use when diagnosing and solving performance problems and optimizing vSphere environments.

This one of a kind course has a real-world focus while covering section three of the VCAP-DCA exam blueprint on Distributed Resource Scheduler and Performance. David Davis, the course instructor, covers many third party tools, including Veeam Monitor, Xangati for ESX and XtraVirt’s Free vAlarm, among others. The training starts off with an overview of vSphere performance management so students are able to understand CPU performance, memory, storage and network management, vSphere resource pools and vSphere clusters before moving on to the more advanced topics.

VMware vExpert and Instructor, David Davis, said, “I did everything possible to make this course the best single resource for vSphere Performance knowledge. I received feedback from a number of vExperts throughout the production process so that the course could truly be complete.” David is VCP and VCAP-DCA certified and has over fifteen years of experience in the IT field. He brings real-world experience to his training through his work as a Network Administrator, VMware Administrator and IT Manager as well as a diversity of skills in Windows, Storage, Network and VMware.

The VMware vSphere Performance Monitoring Training course is designed for VCPs and existing VMware administrators with prior knowledge and experience with vSphere administration. This fast paced course is not intended for virtualization beginners; however system administrators, system engineers and even help desk staff who need the knowledge and skills to perform advanced performance monitoring of their vSphere deployments will greatly benefit from this training. Gosia Niklinski, product manager said, “Although I wouldn’t recommend this course for beginners, anyone who is already using VMware will greatly benefit from David’s training. The information on third party tools, many of which are free, along with the tips and tricks that you just can’t find anywhere else make this course extremely useful.”

The course is comprehensive, delivering nearly 14 hours of video training in 40 lessons, helping students master VMware performance monitoring and prepare for the performance related objectives of the challenging VCAP exam. Like all Train Signal courses, students can get started learning right away with instant access to the training videos online almost immediately after ordering. Additionally, iPod Video, WMV and AVI files are available for added portability and compatibility with Mac, Windows and Linux systems. The DVDs and additional file formats allow students to learn from nearly any device.

The VMware vSphere Performance Monitoring Training is currently available for just $ 397 and is fully backed by Train Signal’s 90-Day “Total Experience” guarantee.
