Deploy, Manage, and Scale Cisco UCS Domains with UCS Central (DCUCSC) is a 2-day training program. Cisco UCS Central provides a scalable management solution for growing Cisco UCS environments. Cisco UCS Central simplifies the management of multiple Cisco UCS domains from a single management point through standardization, global policies, and global ID pools. Cisco UCS Central does not replace Cisco UCS Manager, which is the policy-driven management for single UCS domain. Instead Cisco UCS Central focuses on managing and monitoring the UCS domains on a global level, across multiple individual Cisco UCS Classic and Mini management domains worldwide. During this 2-day lab-driven course, students will become familiar with, deploy, configure, and manage multiple UCS domains with UCS Central.
