Hystax launches certification program

Hystax has started a certification program for Hystax Acura migration solution. Applicants who have completed the program and successfully passed exams will be issued certificates.

Hystax provides two types of certification programs: Hystax Certified Migration Engineer (HCME) and Hystax Certified Migration Architect (HCMA), both focused on training migration skills and usage of Hystax Acura to complete an Enterprise-grade migration.

Hystax Certified Migration Engineer (HCME) training covers cloud migration basics, steps to prepare infrastructure for migration, Hystax Acura configuration, creation of migration plans and switching to a new platform.

Hystax Certified Migration Architect (HCMA) training is focused on Hystax partners whose employees take care about deploying Hystax Acura clusters and provide enterprise customers with full support and assistance in a process of migration.

The difference between HCME and HCMA programs is in depth of coverage of topics related to Hystax Acura deployment and cluster maintenance. We recommend HCME programs to customers who want to perform migration with their own efforts, HCMA is the best for partner employees who will provide maintenance and support of Hystax Acura deployments to their customers.

All types of certifications have a practical exam after training, applicants who successfully passed the exams are issued a certificate.
