MCITP 70–443: Designing a Database Server Infrastructure by Using Microsoft SQL Server 2005

MCITP : Database Administrator is the premier certification for database server administrators. The MCITP certification demonstrates that you can keep up with your enterprise business solutions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

MCITP : Database administrators install or configure Microsoft SQL Server and manage or maintain databases or multidimensional databases, user accounts, database availability, recovery, and reporting. In addition, MCITP DBA's also design or implement security or server automation and monitor and troubleshoot SQL Server activity. Database administrators are typically employed by mid-size to large organizations.

Audience:
  MCITP Candidates for this Self Paced course are professional database administrators who optimize and maintain database solutions. They have three or more years dedicated to database work, which may include two or more of the following phases in the product lifecycle: design, development, deployment, optimization, maintenance, or support. The typical work environment is an enterprise or a medium-sized organization. MCITP candidates should be experienced in using Microsoft SQL Server 2005.
