Duration: 5 Days

In this course, you will learn cloud deployment and service models, cloud infrastructure, and the key considerations in migrating to cloud computing. For all definitions of cloud computing, the course has resorted to the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology as a guide. You will cover technologies required to build classic (traditional), virtualized, and cloud data center environments. These technologies include compute, storage, networking, desktop, and application virtualization. You will also focus on backup/recovery, business continuity, security, and management. You will learn about the key considerations and steps involved in transitioning from the current state of their data center to a cloud computing environment. Upon completing this course, you will have the knowledge to make informed decisions about migrating to cloud infrastructure and how to choose the best deployment model for their organization.
