This expert-level course provides technical professionals the knowledge and skills necessary to plan and design for robust cloud services in a cloud and IT as a Service environment. Building on the skills acquired in the Cloud Infrastructure Planning and Design specialist-level course, it focuses on governance, organizational, financial, and technology aspects as well as the management and operation of cloud services. Through lecture, discussions, case studies, design examples, and a series of interactive labs, students learn to design solutions which transform business operations and cloud environments to support a cloud services model. The course is applicable to enterprise, service provider, and existing data center operations considering cloud and cloud services. This course uses an “open” approach focusing on core concepts, principals, and technologies rather than specific products. To provide context, the course includes EMC-specific examples and case studies.Course Content
