Enterprise Computing Masters

Program Director

Dominic Duggan

The Master of Science in Enterprise Computing program is intended to educate high-end IT professionals with an interest in enterprise computing. You will learn about distributed computing from both the reliability and the security points of view. You will learn about distributed computing "in the large," including enterprise application integration and service oriented architectures (SOA). You will build on skills learned in courses in databases and systems programming for enterprise computing, to learn how to administer server backends that are the crux of modern SOA. This will involve ensuring that applications meet their goals in terms of performance, reliability, security and privacy. A typical backend setup will involve several virtualized servers, running heterogeneous guest operating systems on top of hypervisors, organized in a highly available cluster. Data processing and web service applications will have service level agreements (SLAs) that must be honored. The administrator must be able to respond to performance issues by dynamically reallocating resources between applications, while at the same time responding to component failures and potentially also security attacks. You will also need to ensure that procedures are followed for ensuring privacy guarantees, some of which will be mandated by legislation. You may work with company lawyers to define what these procedures are. The MS/EC program includes courses that covers technical, management and legal aspects of enterprise security and privacy, including security governance, privacy concerns and best practices for secure systems.
