The Cisco Enterprise SD-Branch (ENSDBI) course focuses on deploying, managing, and orchestrating network functions virtualization (NFV) solutions for enterprise networks.
Target Audience for the Implementing Cisco Enterprise SD-Branch (ENSDBI) v1.0 course:
Discover the essentials of Cisco's SD-Branch solution and ENFV technology, as you learn to deploy, manage, and orchestrate Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) on Cisco ENCS platforms.
Cisco SD-Branch architecture integrates networking, security, and management across your company's multiple branches through a centralized, software-driven approach. It simplifies how branch office networks operate and are managed, enabling businesses to quickly deploy Internet-based connectivity and services with enhanced security and improved user experience. This architecture helps businesses streamline operations, reduce costs, and enhance agility by using a unified platform for the entire network—from the data center to the branch.
Deploying VNFs, or Virtual Network Functions, involves setting up software versions of traditional physical network components within a virtual environment. This allows for more flexible and scalable network management. VNF deployment typically happens on cloud platforms or virtual machines, enabling telecom operators and businesses to easily upgrade services, reduce hardware dependency, and increase efficiency. Essentially, VNFs help manage and optimize network functions such as firewalls, load balancers, and WAN accelerators, leveraging modern technology to enhance and streamline network operations.
Orchestration with Cisco tools involves using software to automate the configuration, management, and coordination of complex computer systems, networks, and services. This process helps streamline IT operations and reduces manual tasks by establishing efficient workflows and policies. Cisco's orchestration solutions, particularly in environments like Cisco SD-Branch, enable seamless, scalable, and automated network operations across multiple sites and applications, enhancing overall performance, security, and compliance. These tools are crucial for businesses looking to optimize their network infrastructures in a simple, efficient, and cost-effective manner.
Monitoring and managing ENFV components involve overseeing and controlling the various elements of an Elastic Network Functions Virtualization (ENFV) system. This process includes assessing the health and performance of virtualized network functions and infrastructure, ensuring they operate efficiently and effectively. Effective management of ENFV components helps in maintaining seamless network functionality, reducing downtime, and optimizing resource allocation and scalability. This is critical in networks where rapid deployment and flexibility of services are required, aligning with dynamic business environments and technological demands.
Cisco ENCS (Enterprise Network Compute System) is a series of integrated platforms that consolidate virtual and physical network functions into a single device, simplifying network operations. The NFVIS (Network Function Virtualization Infrastructure Software) is the management portal specifically designed for these systems, allowing for the creation, deployment, and monitoring of virtual network functions. This integration enhances network efficiency and flexibility, making it easier for businesses to scale and adapt to new demands.
Deploying virtual machines (VMs) involves creating digital environments on a physical server that act like separate computers. Each VM can run its own operating system and applications independently of others. This method is useful for maximizing hardware usage, improving security, and allowing testing in isolated systems without affecting base server operations. It’s like creating multiple virtual computers inside one physical computer to manage different tasks efficiently and safely.
Cisco vManage is a key component of the Cisco SD-WAN solution, providing a centralized platform to manage network policies, configurations, and monitoring. It simplifies the management of wide area networks (WANs) by allowing administrators to deploy, manage, and orchestrate network services across multiple locations through a single interface. This helps enhance connectivity and performance across branches in different geographical locations, aligning with Cisco SD Branch strategies to integrate networking, security, and other services into a unified, streamlined framework. Through vManage, businesses can improve network efficiency and reduce operational costs.
Troubleshooting is the process of identifying, diagnosing, and resolving problems in a system or device. It typically involves systematically checking the hardware, software, and connections to determine where a fault lies, then following steps to fix the issue. Effective troubleshooting requires logical thinking, a systematic approach, and sometimes, technical knowledge to understand what might be causing the problem and how to correct it. This skill is essential in maintaining the functionality and efficiency of technology in professional environments.
Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) are components that individually replicate the roles traditionally played by physical network equipment like routers and firewalls, all using software solutions. By decoupling these functions from dedicated hardware, companies gain flexibility, allowing them to scale and innovate network services more rapidly and cost-effectively. VNFs are part of the broader practice of network virtualization, simplifying the management and orchestration of network capabilities, and are foundational in technologies like SD-WAN, enhancing how branches of a business connect and secure their networks.
