Course Content

Data Center Unified Computing Implementation (DCUCI) is designed to serve the needs of engineers and technicians implementing Cisco UCS B-Series blade servers and Cisco UCS C-Series rack servers.

DCUCI v4.0 updates and replaces DCUCI v3.0 and guides you through rack installation, and provisioning of server hardware, operating systems /hypervisors and applications. There is significant content devoted to management, maintenance and troubleshooting. DCUCI v4.0 articulates Cisco data center virtualization solutions and explains how to execute a virtualization solution based on a detailed implementation plan.

Because of the rapid development pace of new product features, approximately 50% or more of the DCUCI v3.0 course content will be modified or replaced by this update.
