Larry Sudbay, President and Chief Executive Officer of SymQuest® Group, announced that John Guthrie, Field Support Engineer, has successfully completed the Hewlett Packard (HP) Authorized Platform Specialist (APS) certification process. This certification is required for SymQuest to maintain its status as an HP Authorized Service Provider (APS). As an HP APS, SymQuest can perform warranty work for HP servers that other service providers without certification cannot offer.
The APS certification has become a global standard. Requirements include the CompTIA Server+ certification, as well as completion of a series of HP examinations covering a broad base of subjects, including troubleshooting and diagnostic utilities, features, component layout and service considerations for ML/DL ProLiant Server Solutions.
“This is a challenging certification,” Sudbay stated. “We are very proud to support John in his pursuit of this level of professionalism and of his abilities to meet and exceed our client’s needs. John is a great example of the excellent staff we are fortunate to have. Because of people like John, we are able to offer the best service experience possible delivered by a team educated on the edge of technology and right beside our clients evolving requirements."
