DCID | Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure
 
The Designing Cisco Data Center Infrastructure (DCID) provides training on designing data centers using Cisco data centers solutions and technologies. Topics covered include network designs with virtualization technologies, Layer 2 and Layer 3 technologies and routing protocols, and data center interconnect design options. You’ll learn design practices for the Cisco Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS®) solution based on Cisco UCS B-Series and C-Series servers, Cisco UCS Manager, and Cisco Unified Fabric, while gaining experience with network management technologies including Cisco UCS Manager, Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM), and Cisco UCS Director. This training also earns you 40 Continuing Education (CE) credits towards recertification. 
This training helps you prepare to take the exam:

Describe security threats and solutions in the data center. 
Describe advanced data center security technologies and best practices. 
Describe device management and orchestration in the data center.  
Describe the storage options for the compute function and the different Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) levels from a high-availability and performance perspective. 
Describe Fibre Channel concepts and architecture. 
Describe Fibre Channel topologies and industry terms.
Describe Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE). 
Describe security options in the storage network. 
Describe the management and automation options for the storage networking infrastructure. 
Describe Cisco UCS servers and use cases for various Cisco UCS platforms. 
Explain the connectivity options for fabric interconnects for southbound and northbound connections. 
Describe the hyperconverged solution and integrated systems. 
Describe the systemwide parameters for setting up a Cisco UCS domain. 
Describe role-based access control (RBAC) and integration with directory servers to control access rights on Cisco UCS Manager. 
Describe the pools that may be used in service profiles or service profile templates on Cisco UCS Manager. 
Describe the different policies in the service profile. 
Describe the Ethernet and Fibre Channel interface policies and additional network technologies. 
Describe the advantages of templates and the difference between initial and updated templates. 
Describe data center automation tools.
