From the smallest organizations to the very largest, Cisco Data Center inventions are joining standards-based technologies to revolutionize the Information Technology (IT) industry. This course is critical for any engineer or designer that is interested in the future of network computing. Specifically, this course focuses on the Nexus and MDS equipment from Cisco Systems, and the technologies that make a unified fabric of LAN and SAN traffic possible. Some of the industry-hottest technologies are thoroughly explored including OTV, vPC, LISP, VM-FEX, and Cisco FabricPath (TRILL). This course is a perfect follow up from the CCNA Data Center courses here at CBT Nuggets, as well as the Cisco UCS courses.
