Cadets study network services in terms of design, implementation, maintenance and security of computer servers. The learning process in this course builds on earlier coursework and assumes a functional network with basic connectivity. This course first covers the design and selection of hardware and software to provide network services based on identified user requirements. Cadets then learn to support the Army Enterprise through the implementation and maintenance of network services, including naming, addressing, resource management, voice over IP, and web services. Security is a pervasive theme throughout the course. While this course focuses on the practical aspect of network services, it also gives cadets a foundational understanding of the theories behind those services.
