Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) Management and Operation Training Course

Matrix is an open protocol facilitating secure, decentralized, real-time communication. Organizations are increasingly selecting Matrix alongside the Element client as a modern alternative to Slack and Microsoft Teams. This enables them to uphold end-to-end encryption, ensure on-premise data residency, and federate with trusted external partners.

This live, instructor-led training in Germany, available online or onsite, is designed for network and system administrators aiming to implement robust, enterprise-grade monitoring using open-source tools without being tied to specific vendors.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to deploy LibreNMS and Zabbix, oversee network devices, build dashboards and alerts, implement distributed monitoring, and integrate with external systems.

In this instructor-led live training, delivered in Germany (either online or on-site), participants will learn to utilize ONAP for automating network services.

By the end of this session, participants will be equipped to:

• Understand, install, and configure the various components within the ONAP ecosystem.
• Perform real-time, policy-driven orchestration and automation of physical and virtual network functions.
• Design, create, orchestrate, and monitor VNFs, SDNs, and other network services.
• Efficiently manage the entire networking lifecycle using a software-driven methodology.
• Develop, deploy, and scale networks using the latest open-source technologies and practices.

The "Computer Network Security – Securing Your Services" training introduces the mechanisms and services that protect modern network solutions. It covers the fundamentals of ensuring data confidentiality and integrity, including the application of encryption, certificates, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), and secure password storage. The course also discusses security protocols and services in networks, security systems, wireless network protection, connecting corporate branches, and security testing through penetration tests, network scanning, and vulnerability detection.

Synapse acts as the reference homeserver for the Matrix protocol, enabling decentralized, end-to-end encrypted messaging. This instructor-led, live training (delivered online or onsite) targets intermediate DevOps engineers and system administrators who aim to transition from cloud chat platforms to a self-hosted, federated messaging infrastructure using Synapse and Element.

Uptime Kuma is a straightforward, self-hosted monitoring tool designed to track the availability of websites, services, and infrastructure. It provides an alternative to Pingdom, Datadog Synthetics, and UptimeRobot for organizations that prioritize keeping monitoring data under their own control. This instructor-led live training, available online or on-site, targets beginner to intermediate SREs and DevOps engineers aiming to shift from cloud uptime monitoring to a self-hosted, sovereign status tracking platform with Uptime Kuma.

OpenVPN and WireGuard stand as the leading open-source protocols for virtual private networks. By hosting your own VPN infrastructure, you eliminate the risk of third-party providers logging traffic metadata, inserting ads, or responding to external data requests. This course addresses both protocols, considering various threat models and performance needs.
