Cisco Data Center Fundamentals

Thousands of network engineers and other technology professionals need to demonstrate a solid understanding of the fundamentals of modern data center technologies. Today, one of the best ways to demonstrate this understanding is to earn Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) Data Center certification. Earning the CCNP Data Center credential is an especially valuable next step for many professionals who hold entry-level CCNA certification. Cisco Data Center Fundamentals is the complete guide for CCNA holders and other early-career network professionals who want to fill their knowledge gaps, earn their CCNP DC certifications, and succeed with Cisco data center technologies. Authored by two long-time experts in operating Cisco data center environments and developing official Learning@Cisco training content for them, this guide covers each relevant product and solution, including:

• Networking: Data center network architectures, Cisco Nexus switches, Cisco NX-OS software, virtualization, Cisco ACI, cloud computing, and more
• Storage: Core concepts, Fibre Channel, virtualization, Ethernet enhancements, and FCoE
• Compute: Cisco UCS components and abstraction
• Automation: to make Cisco data center environments more productive and agile, including the use of Cisco's APIs

數千名網絡工程師和其他技術專業人士需要展示對現代數據中心技術基礎的扎實理解。如今，展示這種理解的最佳方式之一是獲得思科認證網絡專業（CCNP）數據中心認證。對於許多持有入門級CCNA認證的專業人士來說，獲得CCNP數據中心資格是一個特別有價值的下一步。《思科數據中心基礎知識》是為CCNA持有者和其他初級網絡專業人士編寫的完整指南，他們希望填補知識差距，獲得CCNP DC認證並在思科數據中心技術方面取得成功。本指南由兩位長期從事操作思科數據中心環境和為其開發官方Learning@Cisco培訓內容的專家撰寫，涵蓋了每個相關的產品和解決方案，包括：

- 網絡：數據中心網絡架構、思科Nexus交換機、思科NX-OS軟件、虛擬化、思科ACI、雲計算等。
- 存儲：核心概念、光纖通道、虛擬化、以太網增強和FCoE等。
- 計算：思科UCS組件和抽象。
- 自動化：使思科數據中心環境更具生產力和敏捷性的自動化，包括使用思科的API。
