Course: Duration: Price: $ 4,295.00 Learning Credits: 43 Certification: Implementing and Troubleshooting the Cisco Cloud Infrastructure Implementing and Troubleshooting the Cisco Cloud Infrastructure**Part of CCNP Cloud Certification Track** 5 Day Hands-On Lab & Lecture Course CCNP Cloud Description: Implementing and Troubleshooting the Cisco Cloud Infrastructure (CLDINF) v1.0 is a newly created five-day instructor-led training on the curriculum path leading to the Cisco Certified Cloud Professional certification. Additionally, it is designed to prepare data center engineers with the knowledge and hands-on experience to implement and troubleshooting Cisco cloud infrastructure. The students will gain hands-on experience with configuring various cloud infrastructure components, such as Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS), Cisco UCS Director (UCSD), Cisco UCS Director Bare Metal Agent (BMA), Cisco MDS switches, Cisco Nexus 5500 Series switches, Cisco Nexus Cisco Nexus1000v, and Cisco Cloud Services Router (CSR). At the end of the course, students will be able to deploy ESXi hosts, provision VMs, and implement a variety of features such as vmotion and VXLANs. Note: Students registering for this course will be receiving their course kit in a digital format. To be able to view your digital kit you will need to bring a laptop PC and/or a compatible ipad or Android tablet. The recommended system requirements and instructions to access the course kit content can be found at the following link: Digital Course Kit Requirements and Instructions Please be aware that this digital version is designed for online use, not for printing. You can print up to 10 pages only in each guide within a course. Please note that every time you click the Print button in the book, this counts as one page printed, whether or not you click OK in the Print dialog. If you have any questions or issues with meeting the requirements listed above, please contact us at rlt@skyline-ats.com and provide the class name to which you are attending and we will be more than happy to help.
