Explore how server architecture evolves from symmetric multiprocessing to NUMA, detailing local vs remote memory access, memory bottlenecks, and how virtualization and cloud infrastructure optimize NUMA scalability.
Learn to use remote server management tools from Dell, HP, IBM, and Cisco to monitor hardware health, configure BIOS and RAID, and install the OS via browser interfaces.
Maintain current BIOS, firmware, and drivers to streamline hardware support and troubleshooting with vendors, preventing downtime and outages.
install windows 2019 operating system in vmware workstation for a lab, configure bridged, nat, or host-only networking, and allocate 4 gb ram and 1 cpu to support installation and drivers.
Learn post installation steps after server setup, including installing VMware tools, configuring host name and firewall settings, and preparing for future roles such as Active Directory and DNS.
Compare server versus desktop operating systems, review Windows Server 2012 R2 and 2016, hardware needs, steps like host name, firewall, IaaS, and network configuration for Azure, AWS, Google Cloud.
Explore core cloud networking fundamentals, including networking media and cables, devices like switches and routers, topologies, protocols such as TCP/IP and UDP, and IP addressing and subnets across cloud environments.
Discover how network interface cards (NICs) connect servers and laptops to a network via RJ-45 ports and twisted-pair cables, enabling Ethernet MAC addressing, with multi-port NICs providing redundancy across switches.
Partition a switch into VLANs to isolate traffic for departments and environments, such as web, application, and database servers. Virtual LANs create isolated broadcast domains at the data link layer.
Identify and contrast local area networks, wide area networks, intranet, and the internet, and explain how switches, routers, VLANs, and backbone networks interconnect devices across campuses and clouds.
Learn how iSCSI maps storage over TCP/IP to Ethernet by translating packets into Fibre Channel frames, enabling converged storage with unified switches and multi-protocol support.
Explore full, differential, and incremental backups, compare backup time and space implications, and learn how application-aware backups safeguard logs to prevent downtime.
Run multiple virtual servers on a single physical box. Apply an abstraction layer to separate hardware from operating systems, reducing datacenter size, power use, and administrative needs.
Explore server virtualization fundamentals, hypervisors, and virtual machines, and learn how virtualization boosts agility, performance, availability, and lowers capital and operating expenditures across AWS, Azure, and Google.
