This 5-day hands-on course focuses on Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) deployment and operations. You will learn how to configure and manage UCS servers with consolidated I/O networking for LAN and SAN connectivity, and how to virtualize server properties to enable simple and rapid mobility of server OS images between physical servers. In the lab, you will practice implementing a multi-tenant management model, configuring fault tolerance, backing up and restoring system configurations, and using the built-in monitoring and troubleshooting tools. You will also install and configure the Cisco Nexus 1000V Virtual Switch on the UCS infrastructure.
