DCFNDU - Understanding Cisco Data Center Foundations

Introdução

The Understanding Cisco Data Center Foundations (DCFNDU) v1.0 course helps you prepare for entry-level data center roles. In this course, you will learn the foundational knowledge and skills you need to configure Cisco® data center technologies including: networking, virtualization, storage area networking, and unified computing. You will get an introduction to Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI), automation and cloud computing. You will get hands-on experience with configuring features on Cisco Nexus Operating System (Cisco NX-OS) and Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS).

This course will help you:
• Prepare for entry-level job roles in the high-demand area of data center environments;
• Prepare for courses that support the Cisco Certified Network Professional Data Center certification exams;
• Gain knowledge and hands-on skills through Cisco’s unique combination of lessons and hands-on practice using enterprise-grade Cisco learning technologies, data center equipment, and software.

This course does not lead directly to a certification exam, but it does cover foundational knowledge that can help you prepare for several CCNP and other professional-level data center courses and exams:
• Course Implementing and Operating Cisco Data Center Core Technologies (DCCOR)/Exam 350-601;
• Course Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID)/ Exam 350-610;
• Course Troubleshooting Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCIT)/Exam 350-615;
• Course Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (DCACI)/Exam 350-620;
• Course Introducing Cisco NX-OS Switches and Fabrics in the Data Center (DCINX);
• Course Configuring Cisco Nexus Switches (DCCNX).
