Cisco Splunk for AI Operations
Cisco Splunk for AI Operations (CSAIOPS) training covers how together, Splunk and UCS enable organizations to realize the potential of Operational Intelligence across the organization and gain real-time business insights that create a strategic advantage. The Splunk for Cisco Integrated Infrastructure training will cover how Splunk software scales to collect and index hundreds of terabytes of data per day, across multi-geography, multi-datacenter and cloud based infrastructures. Using Cisco’s Unified Computing System (UCS) Integrated Infrastructure for Big Data offers linear scalability along with operational simplification for single-rack and multiple-rack deployments. To facilitate faster and more predictable deployments, Cisco has published multiple reference architectures for Splunk software plus a comprehensive Cisco Validated Design that provides prescriptive, step-by-step guidance for deploying Splunk Enterprise on Cisco UCS. Lastly, the Cisco Splunk course will cover Splunk Apps and Add-Ons that provide ready-to-use functions for many Cisco Products and platforms.
