Why Cloud Computing?

As the 20th century came to a close, computer scientists developed ways to separate software from specific hardware and to allocate computing and storage resources dynamically as they were demanded by operating units users and customers.  That approach has evolved into what we now call Cloud Computing.

Amazon, Google, Facebook, Salesforce, and Netflix used the Cloud to build their own businesses that have transformed how we work, shop, spend our leisure time, and almost every other aspect of our lives.  Amazon and Google, alongside traditional computing companies like IBM and Microsoft, decided to make computing and storage resources available as platforms for others to build businesses on.

Now Cloud Computing is no longer the domain of a few large providers and digital businesses: today, every company needs to consider putting its digital operations into the Cloud.  That means nearly every company has a current or upcoming need for skilled Cloud Computing professionals who can drive the migration of computing and computer-based services on Cloud platforms.

Cloud Architects and Cloud Engineers have the specialized skills to adapt and reinvent business operations to take advantage of the unique capabilities of the Cloud.  There are many opportunities for Cloud Computing professionals, and that has attracted many individuals to training programs for Cloud skills.  To stand out from that crowd and gain access to the best jobs in the Cloud domain, you need to select a program that not only gives you a complete skillset in Cloud Computing but also gives you the evidence to demonstrate to prospective employers that you are fully proficient in those skills.

That is why Simplilearn is proud to introduce the Post Graduate Program in Cloud Computing in partnership with the California Institute of Technology Center for Technology and Management Education.  The Caltech CTME-Simplilearn partnership gives you the dual advantage of the deep technology expertise of Caltech and the digital skills training delivery of Simplilearn.
