EMC Virtual Data Center and Cloud Infrastructure(MR-1CP-NPVICE)

This course will cover in-depth details and considerations for planning, designing, and migrating to Virtualized Data Centers (VDC) and Cloud environments. This course will enable data center technology professionals to design VDC and Cloud infrastructures maintaining the most robust and elastic compute, network, and storage environments. The course will be premised on an ‘open’ architecture focusing on core components, principles, and technologies constituting both VDC and Cloud deployments utilizing best-of-breed EMC examples. This training is designed to be at the forefront of the changing IT landscape as traditional phys ical data centers evolve and morph into virtual entities and cloud environments.

This course is intended for architects, designers and consultants. Specifically, this course is intended for anyone involved in or engaged in the planning for:

  • Virtualized data centers: servers , storage, networks, applications and services
  • Cloud implementations: creation, migration and implementing services
  • Convergence of traditional data centers to VDC and extension to Cloud infrastructures
  • To understand the content and successfully complete this course, a student must have an understanding of the following technologies and concepts:
    The ideal candidate is a technical professional with three or more years of design experience in storage, operating systems, and networking and the following:

  • Knowledge and understanding of designing and managing complex systems, networks, and storage with an advent of virtualization, as well as business application knowledge and common business continuity practices and disaster recovery principles.

  • Highly recommended pre-requisites include skills equivalent to EMCISA, VCP, and CCDA certifications
  • Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Describe and differentiate between virtualization and cloud concepts and capabilities including core VDC components and cloud elements.
  • Describe the overall management strategy of a VDC or Cloud environment
  • Incorporate and list the critical aspects of cloud services as elements of cloud infrastructure planning
  • Describe how business process and service requirements will impact VDC and cloud planning and design
  • Identify key governance, audit and compliance considerations
