Virtualization Technologies

Virtualization is one of the hottest trends in IT today. Workstations, servers, applications, and data centers are being virtualized. Companies are building cloud infrastructures. Understanding what virtualization is and how it works is becoming a required skill for the IT professional.

CPC 290: Virtualization Technologies introduces students to VMware and Microsoft virtualization solutions. Training will focus on both current and legacy virtualization software from VMware and Microsoft along with the major concepts of virtualization.

Getting Started Is Easy!

If you have never been an SCC student, you must complete an Application for Admissions and the Class Add/Drop form. Current SCC students may register online. CPC 107: A+ (Computer Repair & Maintenance) is a prerequisite to CPC 290: Virtualization Technologies.

You may pick and choose specific class sequences as you work towards certifications. However, if you plan to earn a degree, please visit our counseling department early in your training.

For more information, contact Mike Fuszner at mfuszner@stchas.edu to set up a time to meet. You'll have a chance to talk about your background, experience, goals, take a brief tour and prepare to sign-up for classes if the program fits your educational needs.

Some classes fill up quickly. Students register on a first-come, first-served basis. It is suggested that you register as soon as registration opens up each semester. Spring registration usually begins in late October; fall and summer registration usually begin in early April.

Sufficient enrollment is required to run a class. Classes meet once or twice per week. In addition, students may need to spend additional time in the lab outside of class.

Training consists of presentations, online learning and hands-on lab exercises where students apply what they learn in class. All classes are lab-intensive.
