BS Course: IS 486: Cloud Computing

The cloud Computing course educates participants about 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.  The course covers technologies required to build classic (traditional), virtualized, and cloud data center environments. These technologies include compute, storage, networking, desktop and application virtualization. Additional areas of focus include backup/recovery, business continuity, security, and management.  Students 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, participants will have the knowledge to make informed decisions about migrating to cloud infrastructure and choosing the best deployment model for their organization.
