What's Covered
Pre-Go-Live Team Enablement
Organizations deploying Cisco ACI for the first time use this training to ensure engineers can configure fabric, policies, and tenants correctly before production cutover. It reduces go-live risk by replacing trial-and-error with guided, hands-on instruction.
Net-new ACI deployments, data center modernization projects, greenfield fabric builds
Operational Skill Advancement
Teams managing existing ACI environments seek advanced instruction on automation, multi-site federation, and troubleshooting to reduce mean time to resolution and decrease reliance on external professional services.
Established ACI environments, NOC/operations teams, infrastructure engineering teams
New Engineer Onboarding
IT departments onboarding network engineers to an existing ACI fabric use this program to accelerate proficiency and establish a consistent operational baseline. The small-group format ensures each engineer receives individual attention and lab time.
Growing infrastructure teams, post-acquisition integration, staff augmentation scenarios
Version Upgrade Preparation
Businesses upgrading their ACI fabric require targeted instruction on changed workflows, new features, and updated procedures before the upgrade window. Custom modules focus exclusively on delta content relevant to your upgrade path.
ACI version migration projects, APIC software upgrades, fabric refresh programs
