This course empowers learners to explore the Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS), a revolutionary data center architecture that simplifies infrastructure by unifying computing, networking, and storage resources. Learners will discover Cisco UCS Server Hardware, including rack, blade, storage, and hyperconverged systems, gaining insight into the Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect components and their roles in the data center. The course highlights the Cisco Integrated Management Controller (IMC) Supervisor, which centralizes management of standalone Cisco UCS C-Series rack servers across multiple sites, reducing costs and boosting management efficiency. Learners will also delve into Cisco UCS Manager, the centralized management system running on Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnects, enabling configuration, administration, and monitoring of all Cisco UCS devices within a domain through a unified interface.
What makes this course unique is its focus on simplifying data center architecture by reducing device complexity and enhancing scalability and management through policy-based automation. It also covers Cisco Intersight deployment modes and use cases, providing cloud-based lifecycle management that accelerates IT operations and supports hybrid cloud environments. By course completion, learners will be equipped to deploy, manage, and optimize Cisco UCS infrastructure confidently, making them valuable contributors to modern, agile IT organizations. This course stands out for its comprehensive approach to integrating hardware, software, and management tools into a cohesive system that drives business agility, reduces total cost of ownership, and supports future-ready data center innovations.
Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS) simplifies your data center architecture. It reduces the number of devices to purchase, deploy, and maintain and improves your ability to scale and manage the infrastructure. Here you will see the types of servers that are used in the Cisco data center. The list includes rack servers, blade servers, blade server chassis, storage servers, and hyperconverged systems. You will also become familiar with Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect components and their functions within the data center. The Cisco Integrated Management Controller (IMC) Supervisor enables centralized management of standalone Cisco UCS C-Series rack servers that are located across one or more sites. The purpose is to reduce costs and increase efficiency in managing Cisco standalone servers. Cisco UCS Manager is the management system for all components in a Cisco UCS domain. Cisco UCS Manager runs on the management nodes (Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnects). Any interface with this management service can access, configure, administer, and monitor the network and server resources for all Cisco UCS devices that connect to the fabric interconnects.

The Cisco Learning and Certifications organization is a worldwide leader in training and education programs that foster the development of careers in networking and other technology areas. The organization caters to a global community of students, partners, customers, and employees who seek the most up-to-date training on Cisco technologies and certifications.
When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
