Data center virtualization demands stronger networks – are you ready?
Data center virtualization brings the potential to deliver dramatic savings in terms of server count, footprint, and storage requirements for data centers. For all its advantages though, virtualization also brings some unique challenges:
- There will be fewer servers but each one will be more critical than ever.
- Applications can be dynamically reallocated at will but the support infrastructure cannot do the same.
- Server virtualization puts new demands on storage environments and data protection processes.
As operational requirements and newer technology adoption has escalated within the data center, it is critical that related IT training be available to support successful business continuity. Having in-depth expertise in Cisco, VMware, and NetApp technologies, HBFITES is in a unique position to be able to offer a portfolio of training courses that cover your data center and virtualization training requirements.
Multi-Vendor
NetApp, Cisco, and VMware have partnered to create a unique multi-tenant infrastructure that includes all server, storage, and networking hardware and software to facilitate sharing, reuse, and dynamic resource allocation. This infrastructure minimizes the risk of transitioning to a cloud infrastructure while delivering the advanced capabilities you need.
Enterprises today are driven to adopt new ways to reduce costs, increase business agility, and improve data center efficiency. Technology innovations, such as virtualization and cloud computing, allow greater sharing of IT resources and enable them to be deployed as a service. To further the adoption of cloud computing and delivering IT as a service, three industry leaders – NetApp, Cisco, and VMware – teamed up to create the industry’s first end-to-end secure multi-tenant architecture. Leading, proven technology from each vendor has been designed, tested, and validated in a documented reference architecture that enables enterprises to securely share, reuse, and dynamically allocate resources.

Data Center Unified Computing Implementation (DCUCI) is designed to serve the needs of engineers and technicians implementing Cisco UCS B-Series blade servers and Cisco UCS C-Series rack servers. DCUCI v4.0 updates and replaces DCUCI v3.0 and guides you through rack installation, and provisioning of server hardware, operating systems /hypervisors and applications.
The Cisco Data Center Unified Computing Design (DCUCD) v4.0 course enables you to choose and design scalable, reliable, and intelligent data center unified computing and virtualization solutions. These solutions are based on the Cisco data center product portfolio with a Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) as a centerpiece integrated with contemporary server virtualization solutions (such as VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V R2, and Citrix for Cisco Virtualization Experience Infrastructure [VXI]) and operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows and Linux).
The Advanced Nexus 5K/7K Workshop prepares the student to design and integrate the Nexus family switches into a Data Center environment through extensive lab exercises. DCNX57K is a 5 day offering that fits between the DCUFI and DCNX5 and DCNX7 courses regarding product specific configuration labs and architecture considerations. The student will also be prepared to troubleshoot common product and configuration issues.
