Cisco CCDA® certification: Designing for Cisco Internetwork Solutions (DESGN) course.

Designing Cisco Data Center Unified Fabric (DCUFD) v3.0 is a five-day course that teaches you how to design a data center unified network. The DCUFD course is part of the curriculum path leading to the Cisco Data Center Networking Infrastructure Design Specialist certification. The course covers the Cisco high-end switching portfolio, architectural components of Cisco Nexus and Cisco Catalyst switching lines, Cisco IOS and NX-OS software architecture, as well as management from the network design perspective. The course describes how to design a data center network architecture using the above equipment either as an Ethernet-only data center, or as a data center using unified fabric. Also described are the features of these data center class platforms ranging from continuous operation, resiliency, and virtualization to power efficiency and management. Included in this course are also various service modules and line cards for Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switches and Cisco ASA 5500 Adaptive Security Appliances. Additionally, this course introduces the Cisco Application Networking Services (ANS) portfolio, including ACE module and ACE appliance.
