This course is intended for

Network and security architects and consultants who design the enterprise and data center networks and VMware NSX environments

Overview

By the end of the course, you should be able to meet the following objectives:
Describe and apply a design framework
Apply a design process for gathering requirements, constraints, assumptions, and risks
Design a VMware vSphere virtual data center to support NSX-T Data Center requirements
Create a VMware NSX Managerâ¢ cluster design
Create a VMware NSX Edgeâ¢ cluster design to support traffic and service requirements in NSX-T Data Center
Design logical switching and routing
Recognize NSX-T Data Center security best practices
Design logical network services
Design a physical network to support network virtualization in a software-defined data center
Create a design to support the NSX-T Data Center infrastructure across multiple sites
Describe the factors that drive performance in NSX-T Data Center

This five-day course provides comprehensive training on considerations and practices to design a VMware NSX-T? Data Center environment as part of a software-defined data center strategy. This course prepares the student with the skills to lead the design of NSX-T Data Center offered in release 3.2, including design principles, processes, and frameworks. The student gains a deeper understanding of the NSX-T Data Center architecture and how it can be used to create solutions to address the customer?s business needs.
