This course material supports the EMC Proven Professional Program

Overview 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.

Audience This course is intended for architects, designers and consultants who are involved in the planning and design of Virtual Data Center components, including applications, servers, storage, networks and services.

Prerequisite Knowledge/Skills To understand the content and successfully complete this course, a student should be a technical professional with three or more years of design experience in storage, operating systems, networking, business continuity and disaster recovery.

Recommended prerequisites include: EMC Information Storage and Management (EMCISA), EMC Cloud Infrastructure and Services (EMCCIS), VMware Certified Professional (VCP) and/or Cisco Certified Design Architect (CCDA).

Course Objectives Upon successful completion of this course, participants should be able to:

Differentiate between virtualization and Cloud concepts and capabilities including core VDC components and Cloud elements

Perform an application inventory and analysis of the existing application environment

Recommend strategies for migrating applications to a VDC Examine how key Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) considerations impact

VDC or Cloud planning and design Evaluate compute, storage and network virtualization technologies Design a VDC infrastructure to meet established application, business,

technology and GRC requirements Define Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) Evaluate new management techniques to support services and IaaS
