Title	Long Course Title	Introduction to Cloud Computing and Storage	雲端計算及存儲導論
Overview	Long Description	This course introduces concepts and principles of cloud computing and storage. Subjects include: cloud computing models (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS), distributed and parallel data processing (MapReduce, Hadoop, multicore technologies), virtualization technologies (hypervisor, virtual machines, full virtualization, paravirtualization), data storage (cloud storage architectures, data centers, data deduplication), security/privacy issues, and case studies of real-world cloud services (Amazon EC2, Windows Azure). This course emphasizes applied methodologies of using cloud computing and storage for solving practical engineering problems. Pre-requisite: CSCI3150 or CENG3150 or ESTR3102.	本科介紹雲端計算及存儲的概念和原則。內容包括：雲端計算模式（SaaS、PaaS、IaaS），分佈式和並行數據處理（MapReduce、Hadoop、多核心技術），虛擬化技術（hypervisor、虛擬機、完全虛擬化、半虛擬化），數據存儲（雲端存儲架構、數據中心、重複數據刪除），安全/隱私問題和現實世界中雲端服務的案例研究（Amazon EC2、Windows Azure）。本科著重利用雲端計算及存儲的應用方法以解決實際工程問題。
