You might be interested to know that there are still places available on the following JANET Training one-day training courses at the end of July:

IP Fundamentals

21st July 2009

Woburn House, London

This course looks at the Internet Protocol in detail, from the basic principles of operation down to the actual data transmitted, with an emphasis on operation over Ethernet. It is presented in a way which should not deter those who are not from an over-technical background who should still gain useful information from the course.

Virtualisation Fundamentals

21st July 2009

Peter House, Manchester

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.

Wireless LAN Fundamentals

24th July 2009

The Media Resource Centre,  Llandrindod Wells

Wireless networks can be a useful complement to a wired network, freeing users from fixed network connection points and allowing more flexible use of spaces. WiFi connectivity could allow students to access library resources from a campus café, or lecturers to discuss and share resources in a common room. A lecture theatre can become an IT suite, or even a park bench the site for group work.  This course aims to provide organisations and individuals with a sound overview of wireless networking, an insight into some of the issues of implementing this type of network and an understanding of how to securely deploy them at a local level. A full description of the course is available at http://www.ja.net/services/training/courses/wirelesslanfund.html
