00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:10,830
- Welcome to Module 4:
Virtualization and Cloud Computing.

2
00:00:10,830 --> 00:00:12,240
In this short module,

3
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,000
we'll cover some basic
cloud computing concepts

4
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,730
and client-side virtualization.

5
00:00:17,730 --> 00:00:21,480
I'll even throw in some
server-side virtualization too.

6
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,760
This module consists of two lessons

7
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,270
and it comprises 11% of the exam.

8
00:00:27,270 --> 00:00:31,200
The smallest of the A+
domains, it's still important,

9
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,140
especially with the ever
increasing popularity

10
00:00:34,140 --> 00:00:37,020
of the cloud and virtualization.

11
00:00:37,020 --> 00:00:39,090
Many, many companies have either

12
00:00:39,090 --> 00:00:41,490
moved their data to the cloud

13
00:00:41,490 --> 00:00:44,250
or are in the process of doing so.

14
00:00:44,250 --> 00:00:47,310
The A+ only requires
that you know the basics,

15
00:00:47,310 --> 00:00:50,430
but pay attention as you
will most likely be dealing

16
00:00:50,430 --> 00:00:53,940
with cloud-based data
storage and infrastructure

17
00:00:53,940 --> 00:00:55,440
at some point.

18
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:56,273
Let's begin.
