IT272_W8.docx  Southern New Hampshire University  IT-272 Cross-Platform Technologies  I have used technology for most of my life and this course has given me a deeper respect for everything tech related. The impact of cross-platform technologies is a lot broader than I was expecting prior to the start of this course. I currently work in information technology in a medium sized company. Taking this course has helped me break down our equipment and processes down to help the œaverage user understand how something works and why it works in that way. Knowing this information helps me in my professional career as well as my personal interests.   My favorite part of this course was learning about virtualization. I am putting together a home lab to use in my home to work on security concepts as well as build a better knowledge of networking. The resources we received through AWS really made me excited to get into virtualization and play around with it in my free time. Prior to taking this course, I believed I would need a pretty significant set up in order to do any sort of virtualization. Now, I know I can do this through simple equipment! The advantage this will give me in my career as I grow is immense.    The biggest benefit is knowledge. We have so many ways to learn and educate ourselves with the technology that is available today. Using this to do research in your job field can help you get to place you did not think were possible. In your personal life, you can teach yourself new skills t
