Business Wire
VCampus Corporation (OTCBB:VCMP.OB), a leader in certification and
professional development training and services, together with the
Linux Professional Institute (LPI), today announced the launch of
the LPI North America Online Learning Portal. Based on LPI's
globally-recognized certification objectives, this portal is poised
to meet growing demand for sophisticated, professional Linux
programmers, consultants and systems administrators. You can log on
to the VCampus LPI Online Learning Portal at
http://www.vcampus.com/lpinama. Linux currently represents an $18
billion dollar market, and according to IDC, is slated to grow to
$40 billion in less than three years. Almost 40 percent of
corporate IT departments currently use Linux technologies and open
source in key areas. Within the next five years, open source will
have become a fact of life for every technologist. Employer demand
for qualified Linux professionals is strong and growing rapidly in
the corporate market � it is the most exciting growth area in the
IT sector. Although LPI has delivered over 145,000 exams around the
globe, a shortage of talented Linux professionals persists. To
ensure that true professionals satisfy this demand, VCampus' portal
offers practice exams, online learning, and the option for prepared
candidates to purchase LPI certification exam vouchers. Ross
Brunson, author of the LPIC-I Exam Cram 2 Study Guide, says that
LPI's North American Online Learning Portal shows that Linux has
matured and continues its growth as a major corporate player. �Just
a few years ago, many questioned whether Linux could become
mainstream. Now, if you don't have Linux knowledge, you're not
mainstream. Linux is already where you work � and it'll grow over
100 percent by 2010. The portal makes it possible to get the
knowledge you need to take advantage of that.� LPI's vendor-neutral
certifications have seen major growth over the last year, with more
than 30,000 exams taken last year alone. Jon �maddog� Hall,
President of Linux International, knows why interest has surged.
�With Linux in the server room and the data center, there's an
increasing need for Linux expertise. This program is based on LPI's
industry-respected research, not just one vendor's idea of what's
important.� The launch of the LPI North America Online Learning
Portal further strengthens VCampus� commitment to empowering people
globally through certification and professional development. �LPI
is a recognized, global community of Linux experts,� says James
Stanger, Chief Certification Architect for VCampus and noted author
on Linux and open source. �Linux is revolutionizing the IT
department, and we're excited to put our expertise to work in
creating and training this specialized, professional and growing
audience.� About Linux Professional Institute (LPI) The Linux
Professional Institute promotes and certifies essential skills on
Linux and Open Source technologies through the global delivery of
