Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure
Duration: 5 DaysAvailability: 6 LabsResources: 16 vCPU · 32 GB RAM
Overview
A design-focused DC lab: routing, storage networking and automation architecture decisions on real Nexus gear so the design trade-offs have observable consequences.
Images included
- Cisco Nexus 9000v (NX-OS) switches in a redundant, dual-homed topology
- Cisco MDS-class Fibre Channel switch images
- A Linux jump host image for DC automation exploration
Environment & resources
Nexus and storage-networking hardware configured for redundant paths, so a proposed design can actually be built and its failure modes observed.
Heavy lab · 16 vCPU · 32 GB RAM
Data-center and identity-scale gear: fabric switches and appliances that need real headroom.
FAQ
Is this hands-on configuration or purely design theory?
You build and validate the designs on real hardware rather than working from diagrams alone.
How does this relate to DCCOR?
DCID assumes DCCOR-level implementation knowledge and gives you room to explore the architecture decisions behind it.
This lab is coming soon
This lab is still being built, so it is not bookable yet. Book a demo and we will let you know the moment it goes live.
