| 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. |
| Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit |
|---|
Students of the Virtualization I course acquire basic knowledge about the possibilities of virtualization on workstations as well as on server platforms. Students will be able to verify the acquired knowledge in practical exercises.
The main purpose of the Virtualization I course is to give students basic information about virtualization. Then students will design and implement the best virtualization solution for a particular task within the lessons of the practical exercises. |
