The rapidly increasing virtualization in data centers and the buzzword Cloud and OpenStack are making the rounds more and more in many companies. This course gives a very good insight into the basic OpenStack infrastructure. Here, the technologies for building such infrastructures as well as the individual components of OpenStack are presented. Design aspects and prerequisites of the solution are also discussed. Fundamentals such as cloud computing, storage virtualization and KVM/VMware are also explained to round off the topic of OpenStack. The course provides a holistic picture as well as a solid know-how foundation on the topic of OpenStack infrastructures. It provides an outlook on how data center and cloud architectures may continue to change in the coming years. In addition, the learned knowledge about OpenStack will be deepened in smaller exercises.

-
Hybrid training
- Hybrid training means that online participants can additionally attend a classroom course. The dynamics of a real seminar are maintained, and the online participants are able to benefit from that. Online participants of a hybrid course use a collaboration platform, such as WebEx Training Center or Saba Meeting. To do this, a PC with browser and Internet access is required, as well as a headset and ideally a Web cam. In the seminar room, we use specially developed and customized audio- and video-technologies. This makes sure that the communication between all persons involved works in a convenient and fault-free way.
