Actual Rack Mount Servers for a more realistic experience

Inventive Media is the 1st and only training center to provide actual Rack Mount Physical Servers per student for use in their laboratory exercises. Such setup allows students to experience a real life example or scenario of working with live servers, to make the transition easier once they start working on an actual server environment.

Overview

This hands-on course provides the fundamental networking skills required to deploy and support Windows Server 2016 in most organizations. It covers IP fundamentals, remote access technologies, and more advanced content including Software Defined Networking.

Audience profile

This course is intended for existing IT professionals who have some networking knowledge and experience and are looking for a single course that provides insight into core and advanced networking technologies in Windows Server 2016. This audience would typically include:

Network administrators who are looking to reinforce existing skills and learn about new networking technology changes and functionality in Windows Server 2016.
System or Infrastructure Administrators with general networking knowledge who are looking to gain core and advanced networking knowledge and skills on Windows Server 2016.

The secondary audience for this course is those IT professionals who are looking to take the MCSA 70-741: Networking with Windows Server 2016 exam.
At course completion

After completing this course, students will be able to:
