RTP Campus Closed Friday
The Cloud Infrastructure program provides skills and credentials that can qualify graduates for a variety of positions in organizations all over the world. Any organization that uses operating systems, virtualization, cloud computing or data storage solutions will need people trained in these disciplines.
The program includes courses in Cisco routing and switching, desktop and server operating systems, in-depth training with O/S virtualization, Python programming and unique courses in data center storage and cloud hardware environments. Instruction in these areas can qualify students to take industry certification exams in such areas as VMWare, Cisco, Red Hat, Microsoft, CompTIA and NetApp.
This program also includes a co-op component, putting students to work with local employers for on-the-job training in live data centers
In June 2020, the National Science Foundation awarded ATE Grant #2055288 to Wake Tech's Cloud Infrastructure program. The "Enhancing Preparation of Students for Technical Careers in Cloud Computing Technologies" grant funds a number of initiatives to improve the college's curriculum and expand internships for students.
