Looking for a recommendation for books, courses, or podcasts that will help me learn the Data Center. First, I’d like to understand the foundations of a data center (how storage, servers, networking, Vmware works). Then learn about vendors, manufactures their products and etc. TY

Why not look into a low-cost course on a site like Udemy or Coursera? Probably a lot more engaging than reading a book.

You can learn a lot on YT from datacenterHawk. They've got extensive educational videos so you can get a great foundational knowledge on data centers for free before you start ponying up for courses. (Also, pro tip, the tech bowl might get you more responses on this request.)

If you don't want to spend money on online courses, you can also check some free online videos on youtube. SE1's YT recommendation is on point. Best of luck!

Hi all,
I graduated during Covid with a double major in business administration and business management with a minor in marketing and magically ended up in sales because I needed a job.

Also, if anyone is willing to look over my resume and give me tips on how to make it more presentable for recruiters in DA that would be very helpful. Thanks
