Abstract

By 1997, Cisco Systems, a company already consolidated in the technology and communications market, saw the need to train personnel who had the skills to configure, manage, install and support all its products in general at all levels, from design to the implementation of solutions. In Colombia, more precisely in the city of Barranquilla, the ITSA University Institution in the early 2000s saw an excellent opportunity to ally with the University created by Cisco, called Cisco Networking Academy, to train professionals in the Caribbean region capable of face the new challenges that technology in networks is generating day by day, becoming in the first Institution of higher education in the region to provide this type of training with international certification and endorsement. From then on, the local Cisco academy has strengthened and significantly impacted local society, generating valued and skilled labor in the labor market of the city and the region. The purpose of this work is to measure this impact, focused on the Cisco, CCNA, and CCNP flagship courses between 2015 and 2019, verifying how ITSA, through the Cisco Academy, has transformed lives. The research methodology is descriptive, exploratory, and documentary

Abstract

The data centers are fundamental pieces in the network and computing infrastructure,and evidently today more than ever they are relevant. Since they support the processing, analysis, assurance of the data generated in the network and by the applications in the cloud, which every day increases its volume thanks to technologies such as Internet of Things, Virtualization, and cloud computing, among others. Precisely the management of this large volume of information makes the data centers consume a lot of energy, generating great concern to owners and administrators. Green Data Centers offer a solution to this problem, reducing the impact produced by the data centers in the environment, through the monitoring and control of these. The metrics are the tools that allow us to measure in our case the energy efficiency of the data center and evaluate if it is friendly to the environment. These metrics will be applied to the data centers of the ITSA University Institution, Barranquilla and Soledad campus, and the analysis of these will be carried out. In previous research, the most common metric (PUE) was analyzed to measure the efficiency of the data centers, to verify if the University's data center is friendly to the environment. It is planned to extend this study by carrying out an analysis of several metrics to conclude which is the most efficient and which allows defining the guidelines to update or convert the data center in a friendly environment.
