Description

Cisco HyperFlexmy name is Christian Kudra, Im a expierenced Solution Architect for Data Center and Network Solutions and Im proud to introduce you this course.I will share my knowledge and expierence, which I earned during my work in numerous projects. Take this opportunity and get a deep understanding for all parts of Cisco HyperFlex. This solution combines software-defined storage and data services software with Cisco UCS , a converged infrastructure system that integrates computing, networking and storage resources to increase efficiency and enable centralized management. In this course, you will become familiar with HX components and learn, after the basics, how to install, design and manage Cisco HyperFlex to get the most out of this solution. You will see sessions, focused on installation, management, maintenance, and native replication. Additionally, there is an introduction to the cloud management Cisco Intersight.
