Cisco : Designing Cisco Data Center Unified Fabric v3

13 September 2018 @ 8:00 am - 17 September 2018 @ 3:30 pm

Velisa Africa is the official Global Knowledge partner in Sub-Saharan Africa. Course details : http://www.globalknowledge.ae/courses/cisco/data_center/dcufd.html

This 5 day course focuses on the knowledge and skills required to design a data center network architecture using Cisco’s high-end switching portfolio, architectural components of Cisco Nexus and Cisco Catalyst switching lines, Cisco IOS and NX-OS software architecture, either as an Ethernet-only data center, or as a data center using unified fabric. Features of these data center class platforms ranging from continuous operation, resiliency, and virtualization to power efficiency and management are also reviewed.

There are a number of service modules and line cards available for the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switches and Cisco ASA 5500 Adaptive Security Appliances and whilst it is not possible to cover all of these in depth, the Cisco Application Networking Services (ANS) portfolio, including ACE module and ACE appliance are covered.
