Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
The aim of the subject is to provide an overview of modern technologies of intelligent control of network infrastructures, their applications and practical configuration. Students will understand modern methods of secure interconnection of enterprise networks and data centers over transport networks, technologies of load distribution in server farms and methods of network infrastructure management. Students will also learn to choose and configure network devices for secure interconnection of the remote sites over the shared transport network infrastructure. Development of applications embedded into network infrastructure and their integration with external systems will be also discussed.
