Summary

Virtualization I course will provide students the basic knowledge of the possibilities of using virtualization on a personal computers and on a server platform. Students will acquire a theoretical and practical basis for the installation and configuration of various virtualization tools. These tools will students be able to distinguish according to their usage patterns and they will be able to configure them properly for virtual systems. They will deal with networks, network resources, backup, and security and stability of the tested solution.
