IS 3550 - Virtualization and Cloud Computing

3 Credit(s)

This course provides an introduction into the technologies behind cloud computing and virtualized environments. Virtualization technologies allow the decoupling of the user-perceived behavior of hardware/software systems from their physical implementation. Techniques to virtualize the basic functionality of today’s typical computing systems - processing, networking, and data storage - are becoming pervasive in industry and form a foundation for the Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) cloud computing model. The combination of virtualization technologies and ubiquitous network connectivity allows for the creation of virtual computers where processing, data and communication are distributed and decoupled from physical resources.
