25. Technology Analysts predict widening cloud skill gap for IT
  The IDC White Paper investigates the impact that cloud computing will have on IT employment around the world and its influence on the way organizations staff their IT departments. IDC interviewed more than 600 hiring managers across the globe for this study.
General Findings
General findings of the IDC White Paper include the following:
Globally, almost two-thirds of enterprises are planning, implementing or using cloud computing, and more than 50 percent of businesses agree that cloud computing is a high priority.
However, more than three-quarters of businesses have apprehension about the security, access or data control of cloud computing.
Lack of training, certification or experience are the top three reasons why cloud positions are not filled.
However, cloud-related skills represent virtually all the growth opportunities in IT employment worldwide and demand for cloud-related positions will grow by 26 percent annually through 2015.

26. Frequently asked questions about IT certifications
Q. What is the difference between the new Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate (MCSA)
certifications and the previous Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator certifications?
The new Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate (MCSA) credential focuses on the ability
to design and build technology solutions. The previous Microsoft Certified Systems

You can no longer earn the MCSA: Windows 2000 certification.
Q. If I earn the MCSA certification, will it help me earn the MCSE certification?
Yes. If you are an experienced IT professional, the MCSA certification is a prerequisite to
achieving an MCSE certification.

and the MCSA: Windows Server 2012 certification?
The MCSA: Windows Server 2008 certification is based on Windows Server 2008 R2
technology and is a prerequisite to the MCSE: Private Cloud certification. The MCSA:
Windows Server 2012 certification is based on Windows Server 2012 technology and is a
prerequisite to the MCSE: Private Cloud, MCSE: Server Infrastructure, MCSE: Desktop
Infrastructure, MCSE: Messaging, MCSE: Communication, and MCSE: SharePoint
