Description

We live in an increasingly online and connected world. Beyond our desktop computers, tablets and smart phones exist the servers, software and back-end infrastructure that store our files, send our email, deliver the World Wide Web and implement social networking. Students will implement Windows and Linux servers in virtual and cloud environments. Issues examined are associated with large scale computing resources, storage, backup, disaster recovery, management, costs, legislation and whether to deliver in-house or to outsource.
