"I loved this course and would recommend it to my command. I learned a lot in the short time that I was here. I am so impressed with CED and what they have to offer. I was originally scheduled with another training company until my husband recommended your company." -Sara Robles, Ruskin, FL
This deep-dive training covers Cisco UCS X-Series server family and how Intersight can be the enablement platform for all UCS servers.
We will cover Intersight features such as IWOM, IST, ICO, and programmability either On-Prem or in the Cloud. Attendees will learn the breadth of the physical X-Series (pools, policies, firmware, so much more) platform as well as maintaining existing infrastructure with Intersight Infrastructures Services. Also covered is how to manage physical, virtual, cloud platforms and deploy to any or all.
