Profile
The " Server Basics " module imparts comprehensive knowledge and practical skills in server administration and virtualization concepts. Learners gain expertise in managing server hardware, physical inventory, and asset tracking. They also acquire the ability to install and configure operating systems (OS), troubleshoot OS, application, and network configurations, and emphasize post-installation server maintenance for data security.
Through hands-on projects, learners develop as IT Support Associates. They learn to acquire and configure new servers, deploy monitoring servers for performance tracking, and align servers with business needs by recommending appropriate architecture, storage, and networking setups. Tasks encompass managing storage, creating RAID setups, configuring SMB shares, scripting, static addressing, and network scanning.
After completion, learners have a strong server foundation. They proficiently support server administration, network troubleshooting, storage management, and data security, contributing to optimized performance and data integrity in an organization's IT infrastructure.
The "Network Basics " module equips learners with crucial networking knowledge and skills. Topics span OSI Model Network Functions, Ethernet deployment and troubleshooting, IPv4 and IPv6 support, router configuration, network topologies, transport layer protocols, network services, network applications, security concepts, secure network support, wireless network deployment, WAN links, remote access, organizational security, disaster recovery, network hardening, and cloud architecture.
Module projects enhance practical skills. Learners troubleshoot service and security issues, configure IPSec policies, back up configurations, scan server segments, and document DNS records and DHCP clients. Proficiency in these tasks showcases their ability to maintain network integrity, availability, and recoverability, bolstering an organization's IT infrastructure
