Having Fun with CompTIA's Interactive Map of U.S. IT Jobs Data

Periodic reports on employment and the next CompTIA IT IT industry growth prospects in the industry sector. Until recently, however, they have never offered much in the way of data visualization tools often completely oars and then collect. Recently published in its "Top IT Jobs by MSA," however, that triggered a fascinating representation where IT jobs are, and which types are most popular by location. (Zone "MSA" Metropolitan Statistical Methods, how to pose a significant demographer underground areas, and people in them.) \

The new fun toy announced on his blog that dates all the way back to July, but that was only offered in CompTIA SmartBrief today. Preston Grisham asks how it all maps Tell us IT Jobs Landscape. "Top IT Jobs MSA" CompTIA is a collaboration between sponsors, partners and OpenStreetMap CartoDB. Here is a static snapshot showing part of esta this baby can do:

 

In this illustration we see the metropolitan statistical area south and west of San Jose, Calif., Centered around Santa Cruz and Watsonville. Although the figures are the most exciting things for around San Francisco to the north, this was one of the areas that has emerged as I jumped around the Valley region infamous Silicon Known as the way check job market is making these days . Of course, you do not have to limit your searches sunny California - that Hawaii is not drawn, you can find anywhere in America or Alaska to check the MSA included therein.

(What gives, Hawaii? Certainly not more than the scene where the pina coladas and getting caught in the rain, and ukuleles for managers of vacation.

This is an excellent tool for anyone working in IT (or plan to work on the computer), and for those who still work for less selfish reasons. It provides a popular IT job lists of names, and lists of jobs and most popular global IT employment figures for almost all MSA 388 recognized in the American continent and Alaska (for more on this, see this Article List of Metropolitan Statistical Areas) Wikipedia.

CompTIA: IT Professionals Face New Challenges as Organizations Become More Digital

Information technology jobs are not as simple or easy as it used to be with the evolution of new technologies.

IT professionals are more burdened in their job responsibilities because technology digitizes more according to a recent report by the IT industry association CompTIA time.

IT professionals are forced to reassess their duties and responsibilities as a greater variety of options emerging technologies in organizations. The CompTIA report also indicates that the new technologies of cloud computing and mobile companies are leading this change.

IT teams find that the construction and organization of business systems such as data storage, mobile devices and applications have become more complex.

"This is true both at the rear end of the IT architecture, where applications crunch and the number of databases, and the front end, where users interact with the rear end and perform daily operations are housed," says Seth Robinson, senior director of CompTIA and analysis technology. "Cloud computing and mobile devices have transformed the two, with the cloud changing the way mobile devices are built and systems to drive new experiences and workflows."

Of all the new challenges IT professionals face modern technology, digital data and cybersecurity are considered the most problematic. In the past, these areas were an important part of IT operations, but recently their importance has been magnified because organizations adopting the new cloud and other moving parts.

"New threats have emerged as a result of the cloud and mobility, so understanding these threats is a priority for the IT team, as well as traditional threats remain effective," Robinson said. "It's not easy."

Changes Driven Cloud

The most notable change in the IT function caused by cloud computing solutions is the way storage is managed. Cloud solutions, such as databases and analytical services allow companies to create long-range plans that go beyond data storage easily.

"Backup and disaster recovery is a good example of a process that has been re-imagined, especially for companies in the SME segment that previously had little activity in this area," Robinson said.

Sixty-one percent of IT professionals surveyed by CompTIA said the most important for the management of back-end architecture challenge is to keep costs down. Although many companies have found that the cloud economically neutral, there is always an expectation among customers for a lower price.

IT professionals have noted that other challenges with the complexity of back-end systems involved in the treatment of several models such as choosing the right model. Research also shows that CompTIA IT solutions and services and data security are two areas in which a small number of MSF have well-developed skills.

"The data points to the IO progress on many fronts, but also confirms that, like many markets of emerging technologies, will take time to develop the IO," said Tim Herbert, senior vice president of research and knowledge market, CompTIA.

"Many aspects of IO - standards, governance, security and privacy, skilled workers and other issues. - The need to establish before the market can really blossom"

Herbert will participate in a panel discussion on the IoT Wednesday, September 16 as part of the first Smart Cities Week 15 to 17 September in Washington DC CompTIA associated with IDC for a discussion session on the role of new technologies, the Internet of things and smart cities in the fight against drought.

CompTIA IT Professional Webinar

CompTIA IT Professional Webinar Examines the State of IT Security:

 

 

Downers Grove, Illinois, September 4, 2015 / PRNewswire / -. The state of information security - the opposite trends and threats to the skills and capabilities of IT professionals in the organization need - will be discussed in the next section of CompTIA IT Professional Webinar Series presented by CompTIA, the trade association for the IT industry.

"The state of security in 2015 and Beyond: A Conversation" is set noon CDT on Wednesday, September 9, 2015.

Scheduled speakers include Tony Sager, senior vice president and chief evangelist of the Center for Internet Security, and Dr. James Stanger, senior director of product development, CompTIA.

"Obviously there is a recognition of the importance of cybersecurity preparedness for organizations in all sectors of the economy," Stanger said. "Companies have invested heavily in technological solutions to counter threats. But the increased use of technology alone is a panacea. It must be accompanied by robust cyber security education, training and certification for IT professionals."

2015 Trends in Information Security CompTIA study found that more than half of the companies surveyed reported a greater interconnectivity of complicated security devices.

"While organizations have adopted cloud computing solutions and mobile technology, which has expanded its security perimeter, creating new security considerations," said Seth Robinson, senior director of technology analysis, CompTIA. "The systems and legacy security practices are often not sufficient to protect this wider perimeter."

CompTIA is at the forefront of the protection of cybersecurity best practices and credentials for organizations; certifications for IT professionals; and soon, the formation of cyber security awareness for anyone touches a PC, laptop, smartphone or tablet.

The CompTIA certification holders who attend seminar "state security" earn continuing education credits to renew their certifications CompTIA A +, Network +, Security + or CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner.
