Data centre infrastructure course description This course provides a foundation in data centre infrastructure technologies. It begins with a tour of virtualisation and the impact of this on the network before moving on to the spine and leaf design, how it works and how to scale. Layer 2 technologies enabling this architecture are studied in terms of the impact on the data centre. The course then progresses onto how Layer 3 technologies such as BGP, EVPN and VXLAN are used in data centre networks. The course then studies interconnecting data centres finishing with a section on automation and orchestration of both underlay and overlay networks. What will you learn Explain the spine and leaf architecture Recognise the impact of virtualisation, containers and orchestration on the network Describe how the following technologies are used in data centres: Multi port aggregation Overlay networks MBGP, VRFs, EVPN VXLAN COOP Data centre infrastructure course details Who will benefit: Staff involved with Data centres.
