| Brief description of the Unit |
The mainframes are large-scale computer system architectures and their services were established in early 1960s, whereas the cloud computing services were established in late 2000. This subject introduces the fundamental of these two services and the synergy between these two architectures. This subject will enable students to understand the architecture, technologies and scalable applications supported by these services. |
