Virtualized Data Center and Cloud Infrastructure Planning and Design

This course covers in-depth details and considerations for planning, designing and migrating a traditional data center to Virtualized Data Center (VDC) and Cloud Infrastructures. This course uses an 'open' approach focusing on core concepts, principles, and technologies, rather than specific products.

The contents of this course include Virtualized Data Center and Cloud Introduction, Application Assessment and Migration Planning, Governance, Risk and Compliance, Designing a Virtual Compute Environment, Designing Virtual Storage, Designing Networks in a Virtual Data Center, and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS).
