This course will cover in-depth details and considerations for planning, designing, and
migrating to Virtualized Data Centers (VDC) and Cloud environments. This course will
enable data center technology professionals to design VDC and Cloud infrastructures
maintaining the most robust and elastic compute, network, and storage environments. The
course will be premised on an ‘open’ architecture focusing on core components, principles,
and technologies constituting both VDC and Cloud deployments utilizing best-of-breed
EMC examples. This training is designed to be at the forefront of the changing IT
landscape as traditional physical data centers evolve and morph into virtual entities and
cloud environments.
This course is intended for architects, designers and consultants. Specifically, this course
is intended for anyone involved in or engaged in the planning for:
Virtualized data centers: servers, storage, networks, applications and services
Cloud implementations: creation, migration and implementing services
Convergence of traditional data centers to VDC and extension to Cloud
infrastructures
The following topics are included in this course:
Virtualized Data Center and Cloud Introduction
Virtualized Data Center Architecture
Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Principles for VDC Environments
Planning and Design Concepts for VDC Environments
Managing VDC Environments and Infrastructures
Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) for VDC and Cloud Environments
Cloud Services
Planning and Design for Cloud Enablement
Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:
Describe and differentiate between virtualization and cloud concepts and capabilities including core VDC components and cloud elements
Describe the overall management strategy of a VDC or Cloud environment
Incorporate and list the critical aspects of cloud services as elements of cloud infrastructure planning
Describe how business process and service requirements will impact VDC and cloud planning and design
Identify key governance, audit and compliance considerations
