SYS-ED’s Red Hat Linux base training program is comprised of the operating system, system administration, and network administration; the standard duration is 12 days.
A lesson plan based upon the standards of the New York State Department of Education will be provided as part of qualifying the subject matter, examples, exercises, and program duration. Most clients elect to incorporate project
specifications into the training program:
- Integrating Red Hat Linux with an existing information technology infrastructure: IBM mainframe, UNIX-variant, and Microsoft active directory network.
|
- Utilization of Red Hat Linux as a base operating system for commercial databases and system software - IBM DB2, Oracle Database, and the SAS development system.
|
- Migration from Solaris-UNIX to Red Hat Linux.
|
- Application development as part of platform and application migration to a SOA: Service Oriented Architecture.
|
SYS-ED's
training programs utilize the full complement of delivery medium:
distance-learning, web-based, and
technology driven classrooms. As part of conducting a training program, subject matter is organized for utilization in courseware as a learning center. In order to accommodate employee workloads and staff in remote geographic locations,
component courses can be scheduled over non-consecutive weeks utilizing a combination of classroom training and distance-learning. At the client's discretion, checklist of completed tasks,
validation assessment, and a final examination can be utilized.

Footnote 1:
David Silverberg and David Shapiro were both among the first wave of technologist and programmers who evaluated the UNIX operating system and designed and coded C programs. Dave Silverberg was coding programs and reviewing source code and later taught classes at Bell Laboratories. David Shapiro, in conjunction with classmates at Union College and Cornell University, became familiar with the capabilities and long term potential of low level programming
languages, and early versions of both UNIX and BASIC.
Footnote 2:
SYS-ED’s core UNIX and Linux curriculum has been submitted to the New York State Department of Education - Bureau of Proprietary School Supervision for review.
