I recently lost my job and I'm on the hunt for a new one. I had a couple of interviews with a private cloud company for a sales position. They liked my personality and mindset, but they're hesitant because I'm shifting careers without any IT background. They asked me to familiarize myself with some key topics before our final interview next week. Here's what I need to learn:
1. Virtualization (Cloud Infrastructure Platforms, Hyper-Converged Infrastructure, Enterprise Virtualization, Software-Defined Storage)
2. Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI)
3. Internet of Things (IoT)
4. Dedicated Internet Access (DIA)
I'm looking for resources to understand these concepts well enough to discuss them, but I don't need to be an expert since my role is in sales. It's crucial for securing this job, which comes with a significant salary increase and bonuses. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

You can check out YouTube! There are tons of tutorials on these topics. But honestly, the fact that you didn't start there is not the best sign for your readiness. Regardless, good luck with your job hunt!
These topics are pretty advanced! You might want to get some basic knowledge on computers and networking first. For Linux basics, look into the Introduction to Linux course offered by the Linux Foundation. For networking, check out the Networking Basics course on NetAcad.
I heard Pluralsight has some good high-level training modules called 'The Big Picture.' They might help you grasp these concepts quickly.
If you haven't started with Google or Wikipedia yet, that's where you should begin. Those can offer a good foundation. Also, vendor whitepapers might be insightful, as they often explain how their products work. Good luck!
