Description
The Configuring the Cisco Nexus Data Center for Virtual Machines (CCNDC-V) v2.0 Virtual Training Services (VTS) offeringis a 2-day course that introduces the learners to the designing and configuring a data center network to support a virtual computing environment (VCE). Using both the Cisco Nexus and Cisco MDS families of products, the learner learns how to connect VMware vSphere ESX-based virtual machines to a highly available data center infrastructure that can be used to provide virtualized cloud-based services.
Topics covered include the configuration of a data center unified fabric using both Fibre Channel and Fibre Channel over Ethernet, as well as the configuration of the VMware vSphere virtual switch to a Cisco Nexus based data center network. In addition, the lecture and labs cover how to configure both VMware VMotion and storage VMotion in the data center environment.
