Synopsis:

The aim of the course is to familiarize students with technology basis of cloud computer systems. It shows principles and techniques used in design and implementation of data center infrastructure, such as various kinds of virtualization and high availability of servers, storages, and software layers. The course guides through data center technologies from private to public and hybrid clouds. Student learn current trends in the architecture of IT infrastructure and its configuration for classic and cloud applications. Students will understand the design, validation, and operation of complex infrastructures for modern applications with respect to scalability and protection against overloads, outages, and data losses.
