Description

Course overviewApplication-centric design or more commonly known as ACI is developed by Cisco. It is one of the most advanced forms of software-defined networking solution (SDNS) for data centres. In addition, it enables a user to manage, deploy & configure Cisco 9000 series Nexus switches. Moreover, this next-gen advanced course will help you to understand the core concept of ACI, its application, configuration and uses. The easy yet in-depth course content will help you to deploy ACI in a multipod environment or multi-tenant. Likewise, it will also help you to integrate existing networks into the ACI environment.Course PrerequisitesThere are no such important prerequisites for this course. Anyone with basic networking knowledge can apply for it. But to get the full benefit you need to have expertise in the following domain:Firstly, you need to have knowledge of Ethernet switching products of CiscoSecondly, you must have in-depth knowledge of the fundamentals of virtualizationThirdly, routing, switching and all other networking protocols must be known to themLastly, one must have a working knowledge of Cisco data centre foundation, architecture & frameworkTarget audienceThe course can be opted for by any IT person who wants to work in an ACI environment. In addition, the professionals from the following domain will be highly benefited from this particular course:Field engineersSystems engineersNetwork designers, administrators, engineers, and managersCisco integrators and partnersData Center engineersTechnical solutions architectsConsulting systems engineersServer administratorsStorage administratorsWhy should you learn?This advanced course will help you to adapt the required skill set. In addition, it will also offer working knowledge of the highly demanding and automated capabilities of Cisco Nexus series switches within the ACI environment. Furthermore, a certified applicant can quickly deploy it in a very cost-effective way.This course will help you to learn all the protocols and designs. In addition, you will get proficiency in an ACI environment like a professional and expert level data centre job roles.Therefore a course like this will help you get a job in the ACI environment. In addition you will get placed in top companies all around the world.What will you learn?======================================================================================1.
