VIRTUALIZATION IN COMPUTING

CSE2VIX

2020

Credit points: 15

Subject outline

The focus of this subject is the skills and knowledge required to install and integrate a virtual server in a network to replace multiple physical servers, reducing power requirements of individual servers and meeting sustainability targets. The subject takes a very practical approach, taking the students from reviewing and choosing the best virtualization solution all the way through to managing and configuring the implemented solution.
