Nuage Networks Virtualized Services Platform (VSP)
Fundamentals course presents the technology- techniques-
and best practices for implementing a software defined
networking (SDN) solution for datacenters. The course begins
with an explanation of the traditional datacenter network
architecture- its limitations- and the drivers and evolution
of network virtualization. The Nuage Networks software
and hardware-based products and SDN solutions are covered
in detail. Emphasis is placed on common SDN use cases
and implementation of common SDN services/applications
on the Nuage Networks Virtualized Services Platform.
Cloud orchestration and integration of cloud management
systems are also introduced. Students will conduct practical
hands-on lab exercises throughout the course to ensure
implementation-level knowledge of Nuage Networks
products and SDN service solutions.
