Who should attend
This course is intended for:
- Experienced IT professionals, who may not have had exposure to cloud computing
- IT professionals responsible for architecting and managing cloud infrastructure
- Students and professionals who are looking to pursue career in cloud computing
- Individuals who are seeking EMC Cloud Associate (EMCCIS) certification
Prerequisites
- Basic understanding of computer architecture, operating system, networking and database
- Experience in Compute system, storage and network infrastructure will be an added advantage
Course Objectives
Upon successful completion of this course, participants should be able to:
- Describe cloud computing, its deployment and service models
- Describe the cloud computing reference model and the key considerations to build a cloud infrastructure
- Describe the key components and processes required to build physical, virtual, control, and service layers of a cloud infrastructure
- Describe the service orchestration, business continuity, security, and service management functions for a cloud infrastructure
Course Content
This course educates participants on building cloud infrastructure based on a cloud computing reference model. The reference model includes five fundamental layers (physical, virtual, control, orchestration, and service) and three cross-layer functions (business continuity, security, and service management) for building a cloud infrastructure. For each layer and cross-layer function, this course covers the comprising technologies, components, processes, and mechanisms. This course takes an open-approach to describe the concepts and technologies, which are further illustrated and reinforced with EMC-related product examples. The course follows the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology as a guide for all definitions of cloud computing. Upon completing this course, participants will have the knowledge to make informed decisions on technologies, processes, and mechanisms required to build a cloud infrastructure.
