5. 13.4 Using InfiniBand for SANs In the storage area network or the san world. We love Fiber Channel over Ethernet. It’s a very high speed way of getting data between maybe a server and a storage array. Specifically, we love Fiber Channel because that lets us do block storage, which is more efficient than […]

1. 13.0 Virtualizing Network Devices A game changing technology that we hear a lot about is virtualization. That allows us to take multiple physical devices such as servers, routers switches, and have them virtually reside on a single physical server. That can be an enormous cost savings for us. So in this module, we’re going […]

7. 11.6 EIGRP In this video, we’re going to consider the EIGRP, a routing protocol where EIGRP stands for enhanced Interior Gateway routing protocol. And personally, I’m a huge fan of EIGRP because that is the only routing protocol we used within Walt Disney World when I was a network designer there. And in this […]

5. 11.4 RIP One of the dynamic routing protocols you need to know about for the Network Plus exam is Rip, which stands for Routing Information Protocol. And there are a few different versions I want you to know about. First up is Rip version one or RIPV one. By the way, I would not […]

1. 11.0 Explaining IP Routing While Ethernet switches make intelligent frame forwarding decisions based on physical Mac addresses, our routers make intelligent packet forwarding decisions based on logical IP addresses. And these routers, they’re really the connective tissue that make up the entire Internet. So in this module, we will follow a packet step by […]

67. Advanced Cloud Troubleshooting Module Introduction As you know, in the previous module, we took a look at the very basic, fundamental concepts of troubleshooting, and now, of course, it’s time for us to take a look at more advanced troubleshooting topics, specifically those involving cloud. Let’s get started. 68. Advanced Cloud Troubleshooting Now, you […]

63. Troubleshooting Basics Module Introduction As I’m sure you recall, several of our modules really do apply to information technology in general, and this is definitely one of them. This is a very valuable module. I don’t care what discipline of IT you’re in, if it involves troubleshooting, I think you’re gonna love this module […]

60. Automation and orchestration Module Introduction I know it can be easy to do, but I don’t want you to confuse automation with orchestration. Automation is simple and will often refer to just a single task. Maybe, we want to take a virtual machine that’s in the cloud and take a snapshot of it. Okay? […]

57. Maintaining Efficient Operations Module Introduction We encounter this again and again in Cloud+, don’t we? Where there is a technology and there’s an approach that we take in the cloud, and it’s one of the reasons we move to the cloud, but it’s not automatic. What am I talking about? I’m talking about efficiency […]

54. Logging Module Introduction I am not saying this because my full-time job is as an instructor at Splunk. It’s not why I’m saying this. I’m telling you, logging is critically important today, and it doesn’t matter if you’re talking about cloud or traditional environments. Let’s talk about some of the advancements in logging technologies […]
