<v ->Cloud and the Datacenter.</v>
2

2

00:00:03,090  -->  00:00:05,770
It is time for us to put our heads in the clouds.
3

3

00:00:05,770  -->  00:00:07,350
Well, not really.
4

4

00:00:07,350  -->  00:00:09,640
What I mean to say is that in this section of the course,
5

5

00:00:09,640  -->  00:00:11,640
we're going to discover cloud computing,
6

6

00:00:11,640  -->  00:00:14,160
virtualization and the datacenter.
7

7

00:00:14,160  -->  00:00:16,500
We're going to be talking about virtual network devices,
8

8

00:00:16,500  -->  00:00:18,450
those things that make it possible for us to move
9

9

00:00:18,450  -->  00:00:20,080
into the cloud in the first place,
10

10

00:00:20,080  -->  00:00:21,920
as well as the basics of cloud computing,
11

11

00:00:21,920  -->  00:00:23,730
some key cloud computing concepts
12

12

00:00:23,730  -->  00:00:25,970
and the fundamentals of virtualization.
13

13

00:00:25,970  -->  00:00:28,890
Then we're going to dive into how a datacenters architecture
14

14

00:00:28,890  -->  00:00:31,130
is going to be set up because more and more
15

15

00:00:31,130  -->  00:00:33,090
network technicians are finding themselves working
16

16

00:00:33,090  -->  00:00:34,900
at large datacenters these days,
17

17

00:00:34,900  -->  00:00:36,400
instead of small businesses.
18

18

00:00:36,400  -->  00:00:38,430
And so we have to be able to be ready to support
19

19

00:00:38,430  -->  00:00:42,070
all these large cloud services within these datacenters.
20

20

00:00:42,070  -->  00:00:43,450
In this section of the course,
21

21

00:00:43,450  -->  00:00:45,390
we're going to be covering things from domain one,
22

22

00:00:45,390  -->  00:00:47,670
networking fundamentals and domain two,
23

23

00:00:47,670  -->  00:00:49,250
network implementations.
24

24

00:00:49,250  -->  00:00:54,250
This includes objectives 1.2, 1.7, 1.8 and 2.1.
25

25

00:00:54,380  -->  00:00:57,450
Objective 1.2 requires that you explain the characteristics
26

26

00:00:57,450  -->  00:00:59,870
of network topologies and network types.
27

27

00:00:59,870  -->  00:01:02,660
Objective 1.7 is focused on our ability to explain
28

28

00:01:02,660  -->  00:01:05,830
basic corporate and datacenter network architectures.
29

29

00:01:05,830  -->  00:01:08,440
Objective 1.8 wants you to be able to summarize
30

30

00:01:08,440  -->  00:01:10,830
cloud concepts and connectivity options,
31

31

00:01:10,830  -->  00:01:13,960
and objective 2.1 wants you to compare and contrast
32

32

00:01:13,960  -->  00:01:15,760
various devices, their features
33

33

00:01:15,760  -->  00:01:18,310
and their appropriate placement on the network.
34

34

00:01:18,310  -->  00:01:20,910
So let's get started talking all about the cloud
35

35

00:01:20,910  -->  00:01:22,023
and the datacenter.
