CIS 369D
System Administration and IT Infrastructure Services

Course Description

This course will transition learners from working on a single computer to supporting an entire data center. Systems administration is the field of IT that's responsible for maintaining reliable computer systems in a multi-user environment. In this course, students will learn the infrastructure services that keep all organizations, big and small, up and running. The material focuses particularly on the cloud, covering everything from typical cloud infrastructure setups to how to manage cloud resources. Students will learn how to manage and configure servers and how to use industry tools to manage computers, user information, and user productivity, as well as learn how to recover an organization's IT infrastructure in the event of a disaster.

Footnote:
CIS -369D-01Z: Fully ONLINE. This class mirrors the for-credit class of the same number (CIS 369D mirrors CIS 69D), so the course description is the same. Non-credit courses are intended for students who want to gain general knowledge, learn a new skill, upgrade existing skills, or enrich their understanding of a wide range of topics. Non-credit courses cannot be used to earn an associate degree nor any college transcriptable certificates. They can, however, be used to earn non-transcriptable certificates of completion. This is an online lecture, laboratory class. The lecture meets each week as noted in the class listing. The laboratory does not have scheduled meetings and can be completed independently each week on the student's own time. Students must have access to a computer, the internet and an individual email address. Most De Anza classes will use the Canvas course management system. We recommend a laptop or desktop computer to successfully complete the course; a tablet or phone may not be adequate for all assignments and tests. Information about Canvas and Online Education Orientation can be found in Canvas on the Student Resources page: https://deanza.instructure.com/courses/3382.
