<p class="MsoNormal">Recently, our department revised whole IS curriculum based on IS 2010 Guideline.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One of the changes is to offer “IT Infrastructure” course.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">1. We have taught besides the normal "computer networking" courses,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> a course on "Management of an IT Department/Datacenter" for several<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> years.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">2. With the emergence of IT Service Management initiative, after several<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> years of negotiations, a small but advanced lab with a DataCenter<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">3. This LabDataCenter contains advanced TI such as: IBM blade servers,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> virtualization of servers, VLANs, SAN (with RAIDs), networking<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> equipment, firewall, and thin client accesses. I attach a diagram<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText">On it, there are a great number of books on ITSM and IT Networking, but few focused on DataCenters. Anyway, we located the following ones:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black">I'll recommend my book: Data Communications and Networking by Fitzgerald, Dennis, Durchikova. It covers most of the content area. When we did a survey about
how to update it to better fit the new version of the course, there were no suggested inclusions, although we are working on a new version that will be published next summer.<br>
