DetaCloud joins Linux Professional Institute's Corporate Member Program

"DetaCloud has indicated to us the growing importance of the need for IT professionals with solid skills in Linux and Open Source Software for the further development of Cloud and Big Data technologies. We welcome this opportunity to work with DetaCloud and other like-minded organizations to ensure the workforce of the future is prepared to take advantage of the opportunities that lie ahead," said Jim Lacey, president and CEO of LPI.

DetaCloud reiterated LPI's influential role in serving the community of Cloud technology providers:

“Not too long ago, companies like AOL, CompuServe, Prodigy and others attempted to takeover the Internet, but ultimately the free open Internet prevailed. History is repeating itself today with the Cloud. Our team is laser sharp focused on helping organizations accelerate their cloud journeys by detaching from vendor lockdown. We deliver leading edge cloud solutions built on open source technologies such as OpenStack ®. LPI is providing us a phenomenal opportunity to reach cloud evangelists, influencers and consumers and helping us expand the community of Cloud subject matter experts by making our signature experiential hands-on training accessible to everyone.” Said Al Kari, Co-Founder and CEO of DetaCloud.
