Introduction

Course duration: 2 days, 9am – 5pm

Cloud computing makes computer system resources, especially storage and computing power, available on demand without direct active management by the user. The term is generally used to describe data centers available to many users over the Internet.

Learn about the challenges, pitfalls and constraints one will face when implementing a cloud infrastructure and how to avoid them in your cloud computing implementation.

Synopsis

Cloud computing is the term given to the availability of IT resources usually supplied by an external 3rd party service provider and accessed using the Internet and in which the end user has constant on-demand access. These resources can be provided with minimal user management or service provider interaction. Cloud Computing Certification will give individuals and the organisations they work for a comprehensive understanding of cloud computing and the possible delivery models. This two day classroom training course provides an overview of Cloud computing and its relationship with other areas of information management. This training is based on a knowledge of the fundamental concepts of Cloud computing and an understanding of the deployment, architecture and design of a Cloud computing platform.
