2.BRIEF DESCRIPTION :
This is a second trimester elective unit out of a total of 12 units in the Master of Networking (MNet). This unit addresses the M Net course learning outcomes and complements other courses in a related field by developing students’ specialised knowledge in system management.

This unit provides students with in depth knowledge and advanced professional skills to manage and maintain network servers. They learn to manage resources, including server performance. They also gain capabilities for providing access to reliable information and services in a networked server environment. This unit also develops skills to be able to identify and diagnose possible problems and troubleshoot computer network administration systems using both Windows and Linux operating systems.

This practical “hands-on” unit will teach the essential skills of installing, using, and supporting operating systems and their administrative features. This unit provides students with the necessary training to ensure proficiency in client-server systems installation, utilization, and trouble shooting.

Unit topics:
1. Server technologies and architectures
2. Server and client services
3. Server configuration and management
4. Application servers
5. Administrative domains
6. Emerging trends and case studies

4.GRADUATE ATTRIBUTES AND AQF LEARNING OUTCOMES COVERAGE
MIT is committed to ensuring the course is current, practical and relevant so that graduates are “work ready” and equipped for life-long learning. In order to accomplish this, the MIT Graduate Attributes identify the required knowledge, skills and attributes that prepare students for the industry.

The level to which Graduate Attributes are covered in this unit is as follows:

LEARNING ACTIVITIES :
Each student is expected to:
1.Attend all scheduled lectures / PBL tutorials and complete all prescribed work by the due date;
2.Read all prescribed text references and other material referred to through out the course;
3.Actively participate via listening in lectures / completing prescribed course work / identifying areas requiring clarification and asking questions in classes to gain clarification.
4.Consistently apply himself/herself to the course throughout the trimester.

Laboratories and PBL tutorials are specifically designed so that students may gain clarification throughout the trimester. Students risk not gaining the necessary clarification of course material if they delay their study rather than consistently applying themselves throughout the trimester.
