Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure
Duration: 5 DaysAvailability: 6 PodsResources: 16 vCPU · 32 GB RAM
Overview
A design-focused DC pod: 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 pod · 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.
