Fundamentals of Information Technology Infrastructure

• ApresentaçãoPresentation

  This Curricular Unit is taught with the aim of imparting knowledge to students, namely about how computer networks work, that is, how a machine manages to send information to another that is inserted in the same network, and how different networks can communicate with each other. The way in which information is exchanged between different applications and/or computers will also be covered in this curricular unit. It will also be approached, and in an introductory context, some equipment and technologies, usually used in computer networks, including protocols, services and applications, in turn related to the most diverse services.  
• ProgramaProgramme

  PC1 - Telematics applications (client-server, P2P, elastic, inelastic, etc.); PC2 - Protocols and systems architectures; PC3 - Technologies (wired and wireless); PC4 - Cabling (standards, components, manufacturers, installation and testing); PC5 - Equipment (hubs, switches, routers, etc.); PC6 - Planning and Project.
• ObjectivosObjectives

  LO1 - Understand the challenges and problems inherent in the planning of IT infrastructures; LO2 - Understand the methodologies for planning IT infrastructures; LO3 - Understand the main technologies and know how to use tools in the context of planning IT       infrastructures; LO4 - Design, develop and draw conclusions through experimentation, in the face of a problem, considering scenarios and experimental conditions and the appropriate selection of tools.

• MetodologiaMethodology

  The teaching methodologies are based on two strands, namely: (1) Theoretical sessions - where the fundamental concepts are transmitted and that may be complemented with laboratory classes; (2) Theoretical-practical sessions lasting four hours, in which teaching has a practical orientation, with the use of computational tools (e.g. OPTNET, PACKET TRACER), promoting the discussion of results among students; The evaluation is composed by a theoretical test of knowledge (50% of the final grade) and by a set of practical laboratory works (50% of the final grade).
