The Cisco Data Center CCIE Unified Computing Workshop (DCXUC), is designed for candidates who are preparing to take the Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert Data Center Certification lab exam. This course will challenge students with complex lab scenarios that provide a deep dive into the detailed configuration, optimization, and integration of protocols and features found in a virtualized data center unified computing infrastructure. This course will cover configuration of Cisco Unified Computing SystemTM (Cisco UCS), encompassing both Cisco Nexus 1000V and Cisco Application Networking Services (ANS). The labs will provide detailed insight into the areas defined in the Cisco UCS, Cisco ANS, and Cisco Nexus 1000V sections of the Cisco CCIE DC lab blueprint culminating on the last day in a timed challenge lab.
Although approximately 80 percent of the course consists of labs, instructors will provide students an understanding of how to interpret Cisco exam questions, a detailed solution for each challenge, common mistakes, troubleshooting techniques, and validation. As students learn their weaknesses, instructors will offer chalk-talks to help candidates better understand protocols and work through deficiencies.
Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:
Implement unified computing server resources and management tasks
Manage high availability in a unified computing environment
Perform unified computing troubleshooting and maintenance tasks
Manage data center virtualization with the Cisco Nexus 1000V/implement security features
Implement data center application high availability and load balancing
This course is designed for data center systems and field engineers, consulting systems engineers, technical solutions architects, and network solutions integrators who are preparing for the CCIE lab exam.
The primary audience for this course includes, but is not limited to Network administrators, Network engineers, systems engineers, and consulting systems engineers, Technical solutions architects, and Cisco integrators/partners.
