This highly focused, 2-day course provides a detailed understanding of the emerging features and protocols supported by the Nexus 1000V product family. The Cisco Nexus™ 1000V Series Switches are virtual machine access switches that are an intelligent software switch implementation for VMware vSphere environments running the Cisco® NX-OS operating system. Operating inside the VMware ESX hypervisor, the Cisco Nexus 1000V Series supports Cisco VN-Link server virtualization technology to provide:

• Policy-based virtual machine (VM) connectivity
• Mobile VM security and network policy, and
• Non-disruptive operational model for your server virtualization, and networking teams

Upon completion of this course, the student will understand product placement for the Nexus 1000V, in addition to its close relationship to VMWare devices and services. Practical lab exercises augment and reinforce the courseware to provide a unified curriculum.

This highly focused, 5-day course provides a detailed understanding of the emerging features and protocols supported by the Nexus 1000V product family and installation configuration, and management of VMware® vSphere™. The Cisco Nexus™ 1000V Series Switches are virtual machine access switches that are an intelligent software switch implementation for VMware vSphere environments. Operating inside the VMware ESX hypervisor, the Cisco Nexus 1000V Series supports Cisco VN-Link server virtualization technology to provide:

This highly focused 5-day course provides a detailed understanding of how to integrate NetApp MultiStore, Cisco Unified Computing Systems, Cisco Nexus 1000v switches, and VMware vSphere to create a secure multi-tenant computing environment. NetApp MultiStore serves as the storage foundation for multi-tenancy, Cisco UCS serves as the hardware platform for VMware vSphere, and Cisco Nexus 1000v serving as a virtual intelligent switch.

These individual products combine to provide secure isolated multi-tenant computing environments with independent security models, assured quality of service for critical services and applications, highly available redundant architecture, and an administrative support model that defines access levels for tenant administrators.

Upon completion of the course, the student will understand how integrating the individual product components create a virtual, secure multi-tenant architecture. Practical lab exercises augment and reinforce the courseware to provide a unified curriculum.
