Description
Cloud computing and the next generation data centre technologies are transforming the way ICT services are delivered in unprecedented ways. Fabric-based infrastructure, virtualisation and cloud computing are the underlying technologies for the next generation cloud data centre. Together, they comprise a converged architecture which enables business agility and operational efficiency, while making the data centre simpler, more flexible and less expensive to operate.
This career program is to equip participants with the knowledge and skills to operate and manage enterprise level Information Technology (IT) service centres, data centres, operations centres and networking centres in the area of cloud computing. It will equip the participants with the know-how to design, secure and deploy cloud infrastructure based on a converged architecture with the capability to automate service provisioning, orchestrate resources for workload allocation, interconnect public and private clouds and provide metering for utility based computing.
This programme aims to provide the theoretical and applied skills to use contemporary programming techniques in an enterprise or data centre environment, both from the theoretical perspective and as an applied discipline. It will equip you with the necessary practical knowledge and skills in cloud and data centre administration, with emphasis on network design and implementation, cloud applications development, and virtualized systems and data centres administration.
At the end of the study, you can apply the knowledge and skills in the administration of cloud systems and data centres, as well as in the support of various commercial cloud applications and cloud services. It has a specific focus on Cloud based architectures and the operational requirements resulting from the transfer of enterprise applications into the cloud.
What You'll Learn
Upon completion, you will have an unrivalled knowledge of how to effectively manage a data centre environment to optimise its effectiveness in a more efficient manner whilst meeting the strategic operational demands of the business.
You’ll be able to:

Entry Requirements
- Although there are no formal prerequisites for the course, an ability to absorb and understand technical concepts is essential together with a desire to learn more about the topics covered. A technical background is desirable in order to derive maximum benefit from the course.
- You don’t need a degree or a computer science or computer engineering degree to learn cloud computing & data center administration. You can start learning cloud computing from scratch even if you have very basic IT skills. You will just need to learn some of the main concepts, and how those concepts relate to each other. Then get some hands-on practice, especially in fixing problems.
- Though Optional But Could be an added advantage: Since cloud computing is a broad area, to learn Cloud Computing you should have some skills related to basic concepts of an Operating System (OS) — how they work and operate at a high level — e.g. Windows, Linux, and a few basic concepts about them. Really, if you are familiar with using computers for different office duties, that should provide you with enough context.
- But Don’t Worry If You Have No Prerequisite Knowledge or Experience, We will guide you from scratch!

Students' Reviews:
This Career program in Cloud Computing & Data Center Administration provided the student with tools to develop a sound operations program by covering the topics that are pertinent to operating a world-class data center. This has been an outstanding course and highly recommended to others in the field of managing data centers. It enhances what I learned by experience as a data center manager & built my ground in cloud computing. I learned a few new things that I wish I had known many years ago. This is an excellent course, not only for its content, but because it teaches the applicable standards for the United States, Europe and internationally.

I doubt if there is any other easier way to understand the cloud computing & data center administration, this career program is the best kick off I found about this theme and I learned more here. This program offers enough to let a person walking in his own shoes in any cloud available nowadays and was exactly what I need to understand Cloud Computing, and I was be able learn about DevOps concept too, even not been part of this program.

I took the Certified Cloud Computing Course during the “circuit breaker” (lock down) due to COVID. We had to undergo the training online via microsoft teams. Initially I was doubtful of the training as it would be done remotely. However the instructor was able to guide each one of us during the training. He was very patient in helping each individual’s issue in setting up the environment in our training. Over all very impressed with the course.
