What is Cisco UCS Training about?

This five day training event is intended for individuals who are interested in learning the fundamentals of supporting UC applications in a UCS virtualized environment. The course will cover both the Unified Computing System B Series servers and the stand alone C Series servers. The four main areas of study will be system preparation (B series and C series), ESXi deployment, Unified Communications applications in ESXi, and the Nexus 1000v virtual Ethernet switch. While this course is written with Unified Communications as its focus, anyone with a desire to learn the fundamentals of these topics would benefit from this course.

What are the objectives of Cisco UCS Training ?

Upon successful completion of this course, participants should be able to:

Install Unified Communications applications on the Cisco UCS Servers listed below running VMware ESXi based on Guidelines specified on the Cisco UC on UCS DocWiki site.

B-Series Servers managed by UCS Manager using SAN boot and SAN storage.
C-Series standalone Servers using local hard drive boot , storage on local drive and storage on SAN using iSCSI.
Demonstrate VMware functions and features that complement the UC installation (e.g., vMotion)
Install and configure the Cisco Nexus 1000V Switch to support the UC applications

What are the prerequisites for Cisco UCS Training?

Learners should possess the following prerequisite skills and knowledge:

General knowledge of Cisco’s Unified Communications products
Non-UC students can gain much from this class but they may be a little lost in the dedicated UC chapters. The UC specific content is approximately 20%. All other content also applies to non UC implementations of the UCS and C-series servers.

Reviews

My outlook on training changed completely after attending SpringPeople BPC training. The content, the trainer and infrastructure at SpringPeople were top notch and perfectly in tune with the industry requirements. Regardless to say, training is now something that I look forward to to. Kudos to everyone at SpringPeople!

I attended the 3-day AngularJs training at SpringPeople. The trainer was an industry veteran with vast experience in the subject. Notably, the hands-on training, and the Q&A session stood out. Overall, I found SpringPeople a great place to learn with excellent facilities and great trainers. Would recommend SpringPeople to my colleagues and friends.

I attended the training on API Design for Mulesoft. The sessions were well planned and value-laden. I benefited immensely from the hands-on experience enabled through virtual labs. I would like to specifically commend the efficiency of the support team who were always available to resolve my concerns.

I attended the jQuery training batch, conducted by Mr. Vijay, an SME who did a thorough coverage of all the essentials. He took us through concepts such as jQuery animations, event handlers, plugins, and jQuery-UI by small programs, very easily. The sessions were useful and well structured. By the end of the training, I was well equipped to develop a SPA on Product Management System. Overall, the learning experience at SpringPeople was great!
