DCID - Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure

Introdução

The Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID) v7.0 course helps you master design and deployment options focused on Cisco® data center solutions and technologies across network, compute, virtualization, storage area networks, automation, and security. You will learn design practices for the Cisco Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS®) solution based on Cisco UCS B-Series and C-Series servers, Cisco UCS Manager, and Cisco Unified Fabric. You will also gain design experience with network management technologies including Cisco UCS Manager, Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM), and Cisco UCS Director. You can expect theoretical content as well as design-oriented case studies in the form of activities.

This course will help you:
• Make design choices for optimal data center infrastructure performance, virtualization, security, and automation;
• Master the practical and theoretical knowledge necessary to design a scalable, reliable, and intelligent data center based on Cisco technologies;
• Qualify for professional-level job roles in the high-demand area of enterprise-class data center environments.

This course helps you prepare to take the exam:
• 300-610 Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID).

This exam certifies your knowledge of data center infrastructure design including network, compute, storage network, and automation.

After you pass 300-610 DCID, you earn the Cisco Certified Specialist - Data Center Design certification and you will have satisfied the concentration exam requirement for the CCNP Data Center certification.
