Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) Management and Operation Training Course

Matrix is an open protocol designed for secure, decentralized, real-time communication. Organizations are increasingly adopting the Matrix protocol alongside the Element client as a robust alternative to Slack and Microsoft Teams, ensuring end-to-end encryption, on-premise data residency, and seamless federation with external trusted partners.

This instructor-led live training in Nigeria (online or onsite) is designed for network and system administrators who wish to implement enterprise-grade network monitoring using open-source tools without vendor dependencies.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to deploy LibreNMS and Zabbix, monitor network devices, create dashboards and alerts, implement distributed monitoring, and integrate with external systems.

In this instructor-led live training in Nigeria (online or onsite), participants will learn how to use ONAP to automate networking services.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand, install and configure the various components in the ONAP ecosystem.
• Carry out real-time, policy-driven orchestration and automation of physical and virtual network functions.
• Design, create, orchestrate, and monitor VNFs, SDNs and other network services.
• Efficiently manage the entire networking lifecycle using a software-driven approach.
• Develop, deploy, and scale a network using the latest open source technologies and practices.

The "Computer Network Security – How to Secure Your Services" training presents the mechanisms and services that protect contemporary network solutions. It covers the basics of ensuring data confidentiality and integrity, the application of encryption, certificates, public key infrastructure (PKI), and secure password storage. The course also discusses network security protocols and services, security systems, wireless network protection, connecting corporate branches, and testing security through penetration testing, network scanning, and vulnerability detection.

Synapse acts as the reference homeserver implementation for the Matrix protocol, enabling decentralized, end-to-end encrypted messaging. This instructor-led live training (online or onsite) targets intermediate DevOps engineers and system administrators looking to leverage Synapse and Element to replace cloud chat platforms with a self-hosted, federated messaging infrastructure.

Uptime Kuma is a user-friendly, self-hosted monitoring tool that tracks the availability of websites, services, and infrastructure. It acts as an alternative to Pingdom, Datadog Synthetics, and UptimeRobot for teams desiring control over their monitoring data. This instructor-led live training (online or onsite) targets beginner-to-intermediate SREs and DevOps engineers aiming to replace cloud uptime monitoring with a self-hosted, sovereign status tracking platform using Uptime Kuma.

OpenVPN and WireGuard are the two leading open-source VPN protocols. By hosting your own VPN server, you guarantee that no third-party provider can log traffic metadata, inject advertisements, or comply with foreign data requests. This training covers both protocols to address various threat models and performance requirements.
