The new JANET Training Courses ‘Virtualisation Fundamentals’ is being trialled in March.

Virtualisation Fundamentals – March 24th – The Studio, Birmingham

This course introduces the topic of virtualisation, focusing on the successful implementation of the technology on campus networks with its impact on infrastructure and security. Virtualisation technology has its roots in the mainframe technology of the mid 1960s but recently has seen resurgence. Allowing multiple instances of an Operating System to share the same hardware with more granular control of machine configuration and networking has huge benefits.

The full course outline is available at http://www.ja.net/services/training/courses/vmware.html

Cost
Places on course trials are free of charge to staff from JANET connected sites, but limited to one delegate per organisation.

Trials
Before running a new course in full, JANET always run a full trial.  This trial helps to assess the course materials, practical activities and timetable.  When attending a trial delegates should be aware that;

• The course may not run as smoothly as a full course (by its very nature this is an opportunity to see how things work in practice)
• All delegates will be expected to provide constructive verbal feedback at the end of the course.
• All delegates will be required to complete an anonymous but extensive feedback form.
