Internetworking has become the infrastructure common to all forms of enterprise. It is as important to a small business as it is to a Fortune 1000 company. And there is a comparable strategic importance for government municipalities and not-for-profit organizations. SYS-ED’s consultancy and teaching experience predates the microcomputer era of information technology. We started with mainframe systems and time-sharing and have been implementers of each wave of networking technology: OSI model (inclusive of IBM SNA and SAA standards), MS Office on the PC and Macintosh, LANs with Novell and Microsoft servers, emergence of TCP/IP and Internet standards, open source and commercial web servers, internetworking with Cisco routers, wireless networks, server virtualization, and software as a service. Since 1980, SYS-ED has assessed, migrated, and integrated the new software and hardware with existing software technologies. It has always been a challenging task which (we look forward to) inevitably over time smooths out.

With each new generation of technology, our collective experience as reflected in our courseware and training aids, becomes more refined and valuable to our clients. SYS-ED internetworking courses teach the industry standard subject matter defined by the source software companies and our own consultancy derived content. Networking still is to a significant degree Microsoft centric (it used to be Novell and some of us recall OS/2!). However, the Linux and UNIX operating systems have made inroads into information technology infrastructure. And it would appear that the market is evolving towards a new competitive equilibrium with web browsers, web servers, scalable databases, and mobile devices serving as an integrative role.

Technology Driven IT Training

Microsoft Networking

SYS-ED teaches a comprehensive Microsoft Windows server and Windows workstation family internetworking curriculum. Our system consultants are experts on Active Directory, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, and derivative server software, with the value added experience of integrating UNIX- and Linux- variant workstation and servers. It is standard policy for our staff to take the time and make the effort to become familiar with a prospective client’s operating environment and training objectives. We will then prepare a tailored lesson plan inclusive of performance objectives, exercises, training aids, and validation assessment. And we will continue to turn away assignments, when not highly confident that we can provide a superior training outcome. Few independent training companies have been teaching Microsoft networking training longer or better.

Scripting and Programmatic Implementation

There currently is no single standard for the programmatic implementation of web server capabilities. Nor is there a dominant proprietary standard. Both open source and proprietary software are being utilized in different hybrid combinations with one another.

Some common scenarios that technology partners have been implementing at client locations include:

In addition to the standard .NET and Java implementations, the commercial IBM WebSphere and Oracle Roadmap development platforms have been integrating their software with open source scripting languages and Java SDK and APIs.

Scalable Databases

SYS-ED’s staff are internationally recognized experts (written critically acclaimed text books) on scalable enterprise databases - SQL Server, DB2 UDB, and DB2 UDB System Performance, and served as project leaders on consultancy assignments with Oracle, Sybase, and open source alternatives such as MySQL. Our been there, done that experience started with the introduction of relational technology.  Since the 1980's, SYS-ED has been providing industry standard and tailored 3-,4-, and 5-day database courses: implementation, administration, programming, and performance optimization. At the client’s discretion, SYS-ED’s database training can be integrated with a web server platform: IBM WebSphere, Oracle Roadmap - Application Server or WebLogic, Microsoft IIS, or open source Apache.

Bottom line, SYS-ED can provide tailored database and internetworking courses which serve as the foundation for the automation and scripting of tasks, Internet application development, and mobile device programming.

Learning Paths - Interrelated Information Technology

No one is allowed to enroll in a SYS-ED course, without a consultation with our Director of Education.  We review the project specifications and the operational objectives for the organization evaluating whether to send its employee for the training.  The employee is only allowed to register if they have the appropriate background corresponding to the appropriate learning path.
