Just another weblog

It turns out that the book I was reading (CompTIA Strata – Green IT by Manning) made the test out to be a bit more difficult than it really was. The questions were mostly in regards to actual technology implementation or energy efficiency, rather than knowing mechanisms of the Kyoto Protocol as I was lead to believe. I ended up getting an 88% and only took 15 of the allotted 75 minutes to complete the 30 question test.

I recommend anybody that wants to be able to prove that they at least know what virtualization is along with some energy efficiency practices and green procedures are take the test, I think it’s only $100 which is one of CompTIA’s cheaper exams.

With a recent promotion by CompTIA I was able to get a voucher for the Strata Green exam for about $50 while purchasing my practical A+ voucher.   The content seems pretty easy yet very applicable to companies making moves to be more green or cost efficient.  I recently finished reading CompTIA Strata Green IT by William Manning and it’s a mere 120 pages of content at a font size of what one may find in a pre-teen novel.  It doesn’t seem like there are many online resources for the test so the $26 is really the only option for study materials.  We’ll see how this goes.
