Introduction to Cisco Data Center Networking & Technologies DCICN+DCICT Bootcamp (DCINT)
In this accelerated course you will be introduced to the three primary technologies that are used in the Cisco data center. You will become familiar with Cisco technologies that are deployed in the Data Center: unified computing, unified fabric, and network services. Through hands-on labs, you will focus on monitoring and reviewing configurations associated with these technologies. The introductory level of knowledge that is taught in this course is targeted for individuals to perform associate level data center engineering operations. The course labs will focus on verifying configurations, with selected exercises involving making configuration changes and implementing new topologies.
