Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (DCACI) Course Overview

Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (DCACI) is designed for network engineers, data centers administrators and IT professionals who want to learn about Cisco application Central Infrastructure (ACI)-a modern, software-defined networking (SDN) solution for deta centers. The course focuses on equipping learners with knowledge and practical skills required to deploy and manage the Cisco Nexus 9000 series operated in ACI mode. 

During the course, participants will identify the main components and architecture of Cisco ACI, including fabric setup, policy configuration and tenant management. You will learn how to establish seamless connectivity between Cisco ACI fabric and external layer 2 and layer 3 networks, ensure secure and efficient data traffic flows. 

An important part of the course involves integration with virtualization platforms, where you will gain an understanding of how to add ACI fabric with virtual machine managers (VMMs) such as VMware vCenter. Additionally, The course covers the Hands-on use of APIC Controller for Application Profiles, Endpoint Groups (EPGs), contracts and centralized management. 

By the end of this training, you will be equipped to implement a scalable, agile and secure data center environment by using Cisco ACI. Establish a strong foundation for enterprise-level network automation and management.
