Global Knowledge, a leading provider of enterprise learning services for IT and management professionals, is planning a series of events that will provide expert education and awareness in advanced Microsoft technologies throughout the year, with the focus topic changing with each delivery location. The first of these events will centre on Microsoft Cluster Services and will be delivered in London on the 6th to the 9th March 2007.

The four-day Clustering course will be delivered by Microsoft experts who are being brought together specifically to offer their expertise. A number of other courses, delivering leading-edge content will be held in other major European locations throughout the year.

As Europe's largest independent training company and a fully accredited Microsoft Gold Certified Partner for Learning Solutions (CPLS), Global Knowledge prides itself in leading the way with key technology education, says Jeff Smithies, Microsoft Product Director ,EMEA,

"Our customers know that they can depend upon Global Knowledge to deliver the very highest standards of education in Microsoft technologies and ensure that they are always able to keep up with new developments and techniques. In addition, we are always looking for ways in which we can anticipate and meet their requirements for the future. The leading-edge courses we plan to run this year will enable companies to get much deeper and detailed insight into key Microsoft technologies from some of the foremost experts in those technologies and consequently, get even more benefit and value from software and systems for their organisations."

Global Knowledge has used its own in-depth knowledge of Microsoft technologies and network of expert contacts to arrange the Windows Clustering course. It will provide high-end training for Windows Server 2003 clustering technologies, suitable for systems administrators, engineers, and architects. The course will be delivered by Russ Kaufmann of US-based ClusterHelp.com. Kaufmann is a Microsoft Most Valued Professional (MVP) and recognised knowledge leader on the Windows Clustering services. The course will present advanced content that is presently not available through Microsoft Learning. Future courses are likely to focus on areas such as collaboration and security, although the exact subject matter and locations are yet to be decided.
