Description
In this course the students will be practicing on real hardware (not simulators). Access is given to the students throughout the length of the course. The course will help students to gain real world knowledge on Cisco UCS and HP Blade technologies with real world examples and hands on Lab.
Server training with the leading brands in server industry – Cisco and HP for the price of one. Training given by an Industry veteran with 10 years of experience in the field of Servers, virtualization, cloud computing, Storage, Backup and Recovery and Networking. Training includes live hands on experience on Cisco UCS and HP blade infrastructure in the lab (not a simulation). Course length is 30 to 40 hours
| Step | Module | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | CU 100 | Cisco UCS |
| 2 | HB 200 | HP Blade Server |
Course Deliverables
Classroom Training: Apart from the core conceptual knowledge that we deliver. All examples and practicals will be demonstrated practically on servers(Nothing will be just Theary!).
Lab: Students can create and destroy virtual machines on demand, to practice things learned in the class.
