A shortage of LAN experts
Article Abstract:
The tremendous growth in networking creates a shortage of network management personnel. In 1989, an estimated 7.5 million microcomputers were connected to local area networks (LANs). That number has increased to 10.7 million in 1990 and 15.5 million in 1991, with 21.1 million projected for 1992. Many companies admit to hiring college graduates with computer science degrees and very little field experience as network administrators. But some vendors of network operating systems, such as Novell Inc, require that interested parties pass a series of courses and exams in order to become certified systems managers. The cost for such courses totals approximately $5,000. Less than 10,000 people so far hold such certifications. Most are deterred by the hefty cost.
