HP on Wednesday debuted a new training program for channel partners focused on converged infrastructure solutions, and also a range of new network planning and migration services.

The program, dubbed HP ExpertOne and formally announced at Interop NYC, will address those HP partners looking to help fulfill the company's converged infrastructure vision -- that is, the intersection of networking, storage, servers, software and PCs to drive the enterprise data centers of the future.

Data center solutions training, HP argues, can't be product- or segment-specific any longer, because the solutions themselves aren't in silos, they're converged.

"The change is quite rapid and requires IT professionals who understand how to architect and implement converged infrastructure," said Lyle Speirs, director, sales and marketing, Global Certification and Learning, HP.

ExpertOne, which HP has been rolling out to partners over the past six months, will be delivered by more than 150 independent learning centers and academic institutions around the world, and its courses can be taken online or in-person. Partners with existing HP certifications in particular areas -- storage, for example, or networking -- will see those certifications transitioned into HP ExpertOne, according to Speirs. HP will also continue to invest market development funds in helping partners achieve certifications.

Next: First Up: The Networking Piece

The first announced piece of ExpertOne is the HP ExpertOne Network Certification portfolio, which includes 14 certifications across five skill levels, and is intended for partners who want to build converged networks, Speirs explained.

Partners seeking HP ExpertOne Networking certifications can be fast-tracked through different training areas depending on where their expertise lies already. A partner proficient in HP storage and servers, for example, wouldn't have to train in those areas as he looks to add networking competencies.

The training, according to HP, also reflects HP's role as one of many vendors that play a role in data center architecture. "These are open, multivendor environments," Speirs said. "It is a multi-vendor world."

One specific certification is HP's ExpertOne Master ASE -- Converged Infrastructure Architect, which combines training on business processes and investment analysis with technology training and implementation skills.

"It includes not only the technical side of the job role, but also the totally unique business technology and process competency role," Speirs explained. "Not only are we looking at a board exam that says you have to understand how to analyze and recommend and design a converged infrastructure solution, but we also want to ensure we can measure the ROI on that for the enterprise."

Next: More Strengths, More Services

In addition to thee ExpertONE certifications, HP has launched what it's calling Open Standards Network Planning and Migration Services, a consulting program offered through its HP Technology Services unit.

Further, HP ExpertOne certified partners will gain membership into Connect, an online community of IT experts using HP enterprise offerings.

HP has been working with its top 400 partners on the ExpertOne rollout, and additional certifications and program enhancements will come later, according to Mike Galane, senior director, ESSN Channel Marketing and Strategy, Americas, at HP.

The networking piece is only the beginning, in other words.

"ExpertOne is the umbrella, if you will, for what we're going to be working on here," Galane said. "There will be many more announcements coming. It's not a bunch of silos anymore, and it's really about pulling all of the pieces together. Networking is what the first round of excitement will be."

The cost of living abroad will inevitably vary from student to student, based upon individual living styles, budgetary habits, personal resources, and the fluctuating currency exchange rates. Taking these factors into account, students may find it difficult to actually estimate expenditures in preparation for a program. Students should be prepared to adapt their standards of living to their surroundings, and approach the experience with a sense of financial responsibility.

Here are some financial tips to remember, in preparation for your time abroad:

Before You Go

Credit/Debit Cards
Contact your bank and credit/debit card companies to let them know you will be abroad (when and where you will be going), so that your withdrawals are not denied or your credit card cancelled. The credit card and/or debit card you plan to use while abroad must be in your name, not your parents'. (Most major lenders will, at the request of the cardholder, provide an additional card in the name of a dependent authorized to use the account.)

ATM Fees
Check with your bank for information about daily/weekly limits on withdrawals, and about fees charged for the use of foreign ATM's. When withdrawing money from an ATM abroad, you will likely be charged a fee at the foreign bank, in addition to your own bank's fee. Ask your bank before you go if they have a partnership bank in the country where you will be living; if so, you might be able to avoid ATM fees.

Foreign Currency
Some places you may be traveling do not always accept credit card as readily as in the U.S. Buy some currency to have when you arrive. You may need money to get from the airport to your accommodation or school, and changing money in airports is often more expensive than at a bank.  Communication with your bank prior to departure is important.  Check with your financial institution regarding the exchange of currency.  It is also helpful to inform your bank of your travel days for leaving and returning to the United States.  

Traveler's Checks
Be aware that traveler's checks are becoming increasingly difficult to cash, especially in Europe.  They are not highly recommended as a primary or secondary source of cash on most programs. 

Flights
Look for student rate flights through companies such as STA and Student Universe. These companies tend to offer cheaper rates for students and other companies may offer cheaper rates for anyone under the age of 26.

 While Abroad

Security
Be careful with purses, wallets, and backpacks, as they are easier targets for pickpockets.  Do not carry all of your money in one place, and if possible, have a secure place to store these items in your dormitory or host family, while you are not intending to use them.

Budget
Always carry your student ID and International Student Identity Card with you, as many places offer students discounts or even free admission. Keep an eye out for student rates, and remember it never hurts to ask! Try to avoid eating out during the week; cooking for yourself and/or eating with your host family will save a lot of money for weekends, travel, souvenirs, etc. 

Travel
When you arrive, consider buying a long-term bus or train pass; a monthly or multiple trip pass is likely a better value than daily passes. Make a budget for travel in addition to your weekly expense budget. Be aware of the current exchange rates in the countries you plan to travel to- this can greatly affect your travel budget.

Tis the season for stressed-out kids — it's finals time for thousands of local high school students. Cynthia Muchnick is an educational consultant and the author of "The Everything Guide to Study Skills." Muchnick has three study tips to improve performance and lower stress for students. Worried about forgetting important facts or a tricky math formula? Try writing it down on the test as soon as a teacher hands it out. "Or type it into their laptop if it's a laptop test. That way you have those formulas and short-term facts that their short-term memory might forget," says Muchnick. Next, manners matter. Encourage students to get in the habit of saying "thank you" to their teachers after class every single day. The simple habit creates a connection that makes tougher conversations easier to have. "These teachers are up there giving a presentation, teaching a class. Acknowledge and thank them for the time they put into that. It makes them like you more and think you're a kind person. I recommend that for your coach, for your teacher, for any mentor or adult in your life. Just say, thank you," Muchncik said.And finally, form a study group for finals. It's easier than ever with things like FaceTime and Discord. Ideally, it's great to find a student who has better mastery of the topic. Surprisingly, the benefits go both ways."Sometimes, being the one who really understands the material by reiterating it and teaching it to other students in your peer group helps you understand the information better and be better prepared for papers and tests," Muchnick said.
