Objectives
Basic Competences That the students can apply the acquired knowledge and ability to solve problems in new or unfamiliar environments within broader contexts related to their field of study That students are able to integrate knowledge and handle complexity of formulating judgments That the students can communicate their conclusions and the knowledge and rationale underpinning to specialists and non-specialists in a clear and unambiguous way. That students have the learning skills that enable them to continue studying in a way that will be largely self-directed or autonomous. Specific Competences Understanding of the different technologies of a data center and their function Capacity to design and operate a data center network Capacity to solve problems in a data center networks
