Presentation
With an Internet connection, cloud computing provides access to computing resources (networks, servers, storage, applications, services, etc.) hosted elsewhere over the Internet. This technology offers benefits to professional and end users, notably on-demand self-service provisioning and pay-per-use pricing.
This course enables participants to assess whether current cloud technologies meet their organisation's business and/or technical needs and to implement a cloud strategy.
Objectives
Participants gain a clear definition of cloud computing, how to define a transformation roadmap and its impact on information systems architecture.
The course uses real examples and includes approximately 40% workshop time based on a case study.
