General description Esta materia consta de dous módulos diferenciados. Na primeira parte da materia ou módulo I, preséntase ao estudante os fundamentos das redes con fíos e sen fíos, coma o ancho de banda, resposta en frecuencia, modulación, etc. Asemade, explicaranse algúns aspectos da capa física e MAC do estándar IEEE 802.11 de transmisión sen fíos.

Na segunda parte ou modulo II, introduce ao estudante os conceptos básicos de deseño, despregue, operación e mantemento dun centro de proceso de datos (CPD). Inclúe os fundamentos de deseño de espazos físicos para a súa localización, ferramentas e técnicas de deseño de cableado, sistemas de alimentación eléctrica, climatización, control de acceso e sistemas de vixilancia. Tamén se abordan os virtualización da infraestructua do CPD, tanto de servidores como de clientes. Estúdiase a organización e operación tradicional dun CPD. Finalmente, abórdase o estudo da normativa e regramentos que afectan a este tipo de instalacións.

Methodologies
Methodologies Description
ICT practicals In which the student will see the operation in practice of some of the theoretical content seen in the master classes. In these practices the student will use different tools proposed by the teacher that will allow them to deepen and consolidate their knowledge on different aspects of infrastructure management. The practices will be planned in a way that facilitates their semi-face-to-face realization for those students who cannot attend the face-to-face sessions. In addition to the basic practices that all students will have to do, additional practices are proposed that interested students can optionally do.
Objective test Test at the end of the semester.
Guest lecture / keynote speech In which the theoretical content of the agenda will be exposed, including illustrative examples and with the support of audiovisual media. The student will have the support material (notes, copies of the transparencies, articles, etc.) in advance and the teacher will promote an active attitude, recommending the prior reading of the agenda items to be dealt with in each class, as well as asking questions that allow clarifying specific aspects and leaving questions open for student reflection.

Personalized attention
Methodologies
Guest lecture / keynote speech
ICT practicals
Description
Students will be recommended to attend tutoring as a fundamental part of learning support.

The personalized attention during the practices will serve to guide and verify the work that the students are doing according to the indications that are provided, depending on the specific practice in question.

As telematic tools for personalized online attention, those provided by the University of A Coruña will be used. Email, e-learning tool (moodle) and video conferencing and teamwork tool (Teams).

Assessment
Methodologies Competencies Description Qualification
ICT practicals A7 A10 A11 A24 A37 A38 A47 A48 A53 A55 B1 B3 C2 C3 C6 C8 [Module I] The ICT will be evaluated through sport written exams (1 point) in practice sessions and in the last master session. In the second opportunity, the date will be evaluated in the date fixed on the exam calendar.

[Module II] The compulsory module II practices will add 1 point and will be evaluated before the theoretical exam, by defending the work done in front of the practical teacher either in person or online. At the second opportunity, the defense date may not be later than the theory exam and the form of defense will be the same as for the first opportunity.

Objective test A7 A10 A11 A24 A37 A38 A47 A48 A53 A55 B1 B3 C2 C3 C6 C8 [Module I] The master sessions will be evaluated by means of a written test on the date set in the exam calendar. It will have a weight of 4 points.

[Module II] The evaluation of topics will also be carried out through a written test, which will be held together with that of [Module I]. In addition to the contents developed in the magisterial sessions, within this test questions about the practices may be included. This exam will add 4 points.

Assessment comments

The qualification of each module is the result of the sum of the qualifications of all the evaluations (there is no minimum in the section of practices through ICT or in the objective test).

To pass the subject, it is necessary to have a grade equal to or greater than 2 points (out of 5 points) in each module and greater than or equal to 5 points (out of 10 points) in the final grade. In case of not reaching 2 points in any of the two modules, the maximum grade that will be reflected in the minutes is 4 points.

Both in the first opportunity and in the second, the student will be able to take an exam in any of the theoretical or practical sections of each one of the modules (or both).

In the second opportunity, the students who obtained SUSPENSE qualification in the first opportunity will be able to present themselves. The following considerations will be taken into account:

Extraordinary calls:

Examination of theoretical, practical and problem content: 10 points

Part-time students:

Students with part-time enrollment do not require attendance and the evaluation of the theoretical content can be done with a single attendance to take the objective test on the date indicated in the exam calendar. The practices will be presented and defended on the same dates as the rest of the students of the subject.
