It was only a few years ago that the terms Internet, Intranet and Extranet were used only in very specialized environments. Now they are part of the everyday vocabulary. The widespread use of the Internet has led to the use of routers, proxies, firewalls and VPN (Virtual Private Networks). The new technologies that have evolved in the last few years have also led to such Internet-business terms as B2B, B2C and M2M. Our program is in constant evolution from year to year as the ever-increasing changes in industry dictate changes to course content. Currently, students will acquire the competencies and skills needed to administer a network and offer efficient technical support to users as well as plan for future network growth in an enterprise–wide environment Through both theory classes and laboratory exercises, students will acquire the skills and competencies needed to install, configure and maintain microcomputers, workstation and network operating systems such as Windows, UNIX and Novell; install and administer networks and Internet/Extranet services such as Web servers and Electronic Mail. If you support a network, you have to support all aspects including corporate data. Every company will also have a database that is used to run the business. We’ve recognized that fact and our program also includes Oracle Internet Database Operator certification.
