Expected Outcome: The Gigabit Ethernet & Advanced Internet Technologies course provides students with a comprehensive understanding of TCP/IP/Ethernet and the Internet Protocol Suite focusing on High Performance TCP/IP Opportunities. This course discusses issues relating to hardware & software configuration, network terminology, network performance, problem determination & resolution, application program design affects, network management & security. It provides a "big picture" overview of TCP/IP/Ethernet technologies while describing advanced topics such as Gigabit Ethernet, Ipv6 and Real Time Application function and performance.

What’s exciting about it, why it’s important, where it’s going: It provides a one-of-a-kind tutorial with an industry subject matter expert who has real-world experience and superior presentation skills. It provides a vendor-neutral view of storage networking and TCP/IP/Ethernet with a focus leveraging your investment in network infrastructure, existing and future storage and server assets. It explores the Internet Protocol Suite and Data and Storage Networking from an experienced Data Networker’s perspective. It takes both a top-down and a bottom’s up approach to Storage’s use of TCP/IP/Ethernet. It explains the technical differences between Fibre Channel and iSCSI/TCP/IP/Ethernet and when to use these technologies. It puts you in position to understand what storage networks can and cannot do for you. It will make you more knowledgeable in dealing with the plethora of vendors of storage networking products and services. It takes a “network” view of storage networks yet identifies how storage networks differ fundamentally from other data networks like the Internet. It takes complex storage networking topics and breaks them down in a simple, easy-to-understand way.
