Components of Integrated Learning vs. Computer Training

April 13th, 2010

Computer training and integrated learning are two different concepts, often associated but very different. Integrated Learning is an alternative to other methods, such as computer training classes, which consider that learning only may occur in separation from other activities.

Computer training is the instruction or course whose means of delivery is a computer, either via software or through static applications available online. Computer training courses are designed for individual learning, although some companies have set a computer training class through the Internet.

Integrated Learning is integrated by five different components: assess, learn, reinforce, support and validate, all of them components that do not separate education from common activities in the individual’s life, including work, travel, leisure, and even housekeeping and other every-day issues.

On the other hand, computer training courses are designed in the belief that an individual should only focus his/her mind on the course, taking out of the mind all other daily-life activities. Computer training is usually referred to as Computer-based training (CBT) and computer training courses addressed as courseware.

Courseware was a very popular learning method in the early 1990s, and today, it may be delivered via computer training classes with software installed on a single computer through intranet, downloaded from the Internet, or taken over the net as an Internet computer training class.

Both, integrated learning and computer training courses offer almost any conceivable subject to any age individuals or as a service to businesses and educational entities so they can offer this facility directly to the people who want or need to learn.

Popular computer training courses include all types of computer-related studies, from the learning on how to run a particular application, to learning skills as computer network technicians, or developing skills in computer programming language.

Originally, setup by the Integrated Learning Foundation, Integrated Learning was created like a new alternative in 1994, documenting and promoting diverse methods of learning. The organization was only live for a whole year but the concept of Integrated Learning lives on until today.

Assessing initiates the learning process, Learning provides the solutions, Reinforcing provides the resources to retaining the highest percentage of information a student learns, supporting helps the student complete the learning cycle, and the In the Validate component of the Integrated Learning, the identify to acquired knowledge, and skills gained.

Computer training courses are provided anywhere, any-time computer training with two primary models in computer training classes, synchronous, with the aid of an assigned instructor, or asynchronous, when the computer training class is self self-directed.

Depending or your particular needs, the approach to learning and the access, you are the only one who can determine which is best in the long run, Integrated Learning or Computer Training.

Network Configuration Management Overview

March 29th, 2010

This guide gives a brief overview of Network Configuration Management, otherwise known as Network Change and Configuration Management, or NCCM.

Why does it matter?

In a large corporate network it is not uncommon to have hundreds or thousands of network devices. If you add up all your switches, routers, firewalls and other network appliances, and then you consider how many lines of configuration settings apply to each one, you can see there is a significant investment in your networks’ configuration which needs to be protected.

Contemporary network devices will not only switch and route data, but will vlan, prioritize and shape multi-media traffic in converged networks. The settings and parameters that determine how traffic is handled all forms part of the configuration of the device, and of course, it is vital that all interoperating devices are configured consistently in order to deliver a healthy and reliable network infrastructure.

Of course, the security of your network is dependent on the way your devices are configured. Corporate Governance policies all include Data Security considerations, such as Sarbanes Oxley (SOX), GLBA, NERC, PCI DSS, HIPAA, MiFID, SAS 70, ISO 27000, CoCo/GCSx Code of Connection and Basel II. These security standards have all been introduced to ensure certain minimum levels of security and integrity are maintained for company financial information and any stored personal details of customers. Your network is inherently vulnerable while default settings are used and it is vital that all known vulnerabilities are eliminated through

Therefore configuration settings for your network need to be backed up, verified for compliance with any corporate governance policy or security standard, and consistency of configs maintained across the estate.

Unapproved changes are the biggest threat to IT Service Delivery and the single most likely cause of failures in IT infrastructures. Any changes that occur outside of established tracking and approval processes are classed as Unapproved Changes and, by definition, are undocumented. No audit trail of a change being made means there is no foothold to start from when troubleshooting a problem. In fact EMA primary research has indicated that greater than 60% of all environment failures would be eliminated if unapproved changes were identified before affecting IT performance.

Unapproved changes are introduced from a variety of sources including security violations, inappropriate user activity, and administrator errors. Even a seemingly benign alteration can have far-reaching unintended consequences to IT security, performance and reliability. Over time, system configurations deviate further and further away from established standards. This is referred to as “configuration drift”, and the greater the drift, the greater the risk posed to the reliability of an IT support stack.

The Network Change and Configuration Management Solution

A practical solution to address these requirements is to automate config backups and change tracking, which has given rise to the Network Change and Configuration Management, or NCCM, market.

Change and Configuration Management (CCM) is the process for minimizing configuration drift by ensuring all environment settings are approved and consistent with established standards. CCM is composed of three distinct practices: configuration management which is the creation, documentation and updating of standard settings for all supported IT components; change management which is the process for identifying and approving new configuration settings and updates; and change detection which is an ongoing process of monitoring for inappropriate changes. Achieving compliance objectives for ensuring IT infrastructure reliability requires automated solutions that address all three CCM disciplines.

How does it work?

To date, the development of network device hardware has taken place at a much faster rate than the equivalent development of network management or network configuration management software. In some respects it is understandable – Network Devices didn’t need managing or configuring originally as they were black boxes that either passed data or not. It was only with the advent of shared network infrastructures such as Ethernet that the configuration of addresses and protocols became necessary and some consideration made of the network topology to cater for traffic flows and volumes.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) came to the fore as a technology to address the need for performance, security and accounting statistics from the network, and at the same time, provide a means of changing the configuration of a network too.

As a standard however, anyone who has used SNMP will know that it is anything but consistent in all but the most basic statistics. It is common to find that the manufacturers’ ‘Management Information Database’ or MIB will purport to support certain performance metrics, only to find that different devices from the same manufacturer do not consistently report information via the MIB.

It is a similar story when using SNMP to gather or update configuration data – your version of Cisco Works may work well at backing up your 2950 switch configs but when you next upgrade to 3750 switches, you may quickly find out that Cisco Works suddenly needs an upgrade (at your expense, of course – ‘What do you mean, you pay annual maintenance? That is only to maintain your software, not to actually make it keep pace with product range developments!’)

Fortunately there are other, more ‘open’ ways to gather configuration settings from network devices – using TFTP in conjunction with scripted Telnet or SSH Telnet interactions is a consistent and more easily maintained approach that can be applied to all manufacturers and all devices.

All the above change and configuration management tasks can be automated using network change and configuration management (NCCM) software solutions, the best of which will cover desktop PCs together with change and configuration management of your servers and all network devices such as firewalls, switches and routers.
