IT Summer Camp — Build a Real Datacenter

Not a course. Not a simulation. A real datacenter project — built from scratch, every weekend for one month. Hands on servers, storage, networking, security and operating systems. Open to students, interns and anyone who wants to work in real-life IT conditions.

The Concept

This is Not a Training.
This is a Real Immersion.

The CERTIFs IT Summer Camp is a unique hands-on experience in our Rabat datacenter lab. You will work alongside engineers to design, assemble and deploy a complete datacenter infrastructure from zero — physical servers, storage arrays, network switches, firewalls and operating systems. Every weekend you will go deeper: rack & stack hardware, configure switches and storage, install hypervisors and OS, and integrate everything into a working production-grade environment. At the end of the month you receive an official stage attestation — proof that you worked on a real project in real conditions.

Technologies & Equipment

Physical Servers

Rack-mount servers (Dell PowerEdge / HPE ProLiant). Rack & stack, cabling, BIOS/iDRAC/iLO configuration, RAID setup, memory and CPU.

Storage

NAS and SAN storage systems. RAID configuration, LUN creation, iSCSI & FC connectivity, storage pool and volume management.

Networking

Layer 2 & Layer 3 switches. Patch panel, structured cabling, VLANs, inter-VLAN routing, trunking and spanning tree.

Security

Firewall installation and configuration (FortiGate / pfSense). Access policies, zone segmentation, VPN setup and intrusion prevention.

Operating Systems

Windows Server and Linux (Ubuntu/RHEL). Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, NFS, SMB, SSH hardening and service deployment.

Virtualization

VMware ESXi / Proxmox hypervisor installation. VM deployment, resource pools, vSwitch networking and basic HA configuration.
