| Course description |
The Cisco Nexus family of switches is designed for the next-generation virtualized Data Center. The Nexus family introduces several key features that will be critical for implementing next-gen, virtualized, and cloud computing architectures, including:
* Integrated virtual switching and coordinated virtual machine provisioning with the Nexus 1000v; Hybrid physical top-of-rack/logical end-of-row server access architecture with the Nexus 2000
* Unified Fabric (I/O Consolidation) with the Nexus 5000, 5500 and 4000 and Virtual management domains (VDCs) with the Nexus 7000 core switch.
The goal of this course is to help you understand how you can apply these new technologies to optimize the scalability, agility, performance, and operational efficiency of your Data Center. This course expands on configuration and implementation of the Nexus 1000v and includes hands-on labs in which you will configure VMware virtual switching using the Nexus 1000v integrated virtual switch. The course also introduces the Cisco Virtual Services Appliance and a number of the latest Virtual Services Blades supported by this appliance.
