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 comprehensive, top quality, vendor-independent exams. Established as an international non-profit organization in 1999 by the Linux community, the Linux Professional Institute continues to demonstrate recognized global leadership in the certification of Linux professionals while advancing the Linux and Open Source movement through strategic partners, sponsorships, innovative programs and community development activities.
