Managing Computer Networks

Course Description

The ability for one device to communicate with another is a defining hallmark of the information age. As trends in the information sciences evolve to include elements of cloud computing, containerization and hybrid approaches, so too must our definition of what a network is. This class will take an in-depth look at contemporary network concepts ranging from TCP / OSI models, topological considerations for physical networks, virtualization, software defined networking principals (infrastructure as code), and cloud service deployments (infrastructure as a service). Physical network elements, hardware and design architectures will be surveyed. Private, public, virtual and hybrid network considerations will be discussed. Security touchpoints and common controls within networked ecosystems will be analyzed. Students will walk away from this class with conversancy in the burgeoning network trends found in today?s and future deployment paradigms.
