Beskrivelse
ToppenCisco Catalyst Center (formerly DNA Center) is the next-generation intent-based networking platform, providing centralized automation and assurance for enterprise networks. Version 3.1.3 introduces advanced AI-driven analytics, improved telemetry, Energy Management capabilities, and deeper integrations with Cisco Secure Access DNS Security and Splunk for observability. This 5-day course focuses on Catalyst Center Assurance, enabling proactive, predictive, and real-time monitoring of network, client, and application health. Catalyst Center Assurance delivers significant business value by reducing operational complexity, accelerating troubleshooting, and enabling proactive network management. By leveraging AI-driven insights, predictive analytics, and real-time telemetry, organizations can ensure optimal application and client experience, minimize downtime, and align network performance with business intent. This approach transforms IT operations from reactive to predictive, improving efficiency and resilience.

Virtuel deltagelse
Et V&C Select kursus indholder nøjagtig det samme som et almindeligt kursus. Før kursusstart modtager man kursusmaterialet. Dernæst logger man på kurset via internettet og ser via sin pc den selvsamme præsentation som de øvrige deltagere, man kommunikerer via chat med underviseren og de øvrige deltagere på kurset. Denne uddannelsesmodel er både tids-og omkostningsbesparende og kan være et oplagt alternativ til almindelig klasseundervisning, hvis man f.eks. har et begrænset rejsebudget.
