Why Hardware & Networking? Hardware includes computers, laptops, chips, motherboards, Internet servers, data cables, routers, wires, telephones or mobile instruments - all parts of computers or other systems. Networks are collections of computers or other devices connected to each other where the computers can share data. Without networking, almost all communication in the world will stop. It is because of networking that telephones, televisions, Internet, etc. work. As chips & other hardware get cheaper & the cost of communication goes down, the importance of Hardware & Networking is increasing day by day. This is why Hardware & Networking is growing rapidly. In 2007, PC & hardware sales in India increased by 25% to US $478 billion. One major trend in India is Infrastructure Managed Services (IMS) where overseas companies are outsourcing their networking requirements to us. Maintenance of & upgrading hardware & networks is a specialized task done by trained professionals. For example, every office needs trained people to set up, repair & maintain PCs & other hardware. Candidates trained in Hardware & Networking are required in all offices & allow banks, telecom, BPO, manufacturing & other companies to operate. This means more jobs & career opportunities for well-trained & certified Hardware & Networking candidates.
