Quick Enrol

You Will Learn How To

  • Build dedicated and hosted private cloud solutions to optimise IT service delivery
  • Assess private cloud computing options to solve business problems
  • Leverage open source and proprietary private cloud products
  • Manage and monitor your cloud infrastructure to improve resource utilisation
  • Secure key components of your private cloud implementation
  • Integrate your private cloud with a public cloud to create a hybrid cloud solution

Course Benefits

As organisations evaluate cloud computing technologies, many are unwilling to trust the public cloud with their sensitive data. Creating a private cloud solution can allow your organization to exploit the benefits of cloud technologies within its data centres. In this course, you gain the key knowledge and experience required to leverage both on- and off-premises private cloud computing technologies.

Who Should Attend

System, storage and network administrators, and IT managers who are considering a private cloud solution for their organisation. Basic knowledge of cloud computing at the level of Course 1200, "Cloud Computing Comprehensive Introduction", or equivalent experience, is assumed.

Hands-On Training

Throughout this course, you gain experience implementing private cloud solutions. Exercises include:
  • Identifying network, storage and compute private cloud components
  • Deploying an open source private cloud
  • Navigating a management console and managing virtual machines
  • Configuring an on-premises Microsoft Hyper-V private cloud
  • Establishing key private cloud security elements
  • Setting up an Amazon off-premises private cloud
