Prepares for this certification
Description
The Implementing Data Center Networks course provides the skills and knowledge to design, implement, and configure complex data center solutions based on AOS-CX switches. Data center networks are at a breaking point. HPE offers a new architectural approach that provides simplified, scalable, and automated connectivity for virtualized compute, storage, and cloud. Data center networking requirements have evolved rapidly, with emerging technologies increasingly focused on supporting more automation and simplified operations in virtualized data centers.
This course will explain the HPE Aruba Networking solutions and technologies for data center networks and their use cases for traditional two and three-tier and modern spine and leaf data center architectures. This 5-day course prepares you for the Aruba Certified Professional – Data Center exam.
