Course Overview
In today’s enterprise networking environments, the borders have been broken down, bringing with it an ever-changing wave of new devices and cloud-based architectures. Organizations are strained under the requirements of BYOD to allow users to access data and mission-critical applications from anywhere, on any device.
Cisco’s “One Network, One Policy, One Management” philosophy is behind a comprehensive set of solutions underlying the Unified Access architecture. The Unified Access SE Boot Camp v1.0 course is designed to assure System Engineers will be able to provide technical pre-sales engineering, demonstrate the key Cisco competitive advantages, create a network design against customer specifications, and implement Cisco Unified Access solutions that are comprised of key differentiating components, features, and services.
This course presents concepts, wired and wireless platforms, technologies and services that are required for a comprehensive approach to effectively design, manage, and control the access on a Unified Access network. The reference network that is selected as a case study in this course is the fictitious Health To All (HTA) Hospital.
This complete solution starts with Cisco design guides and professional services that lead the learner from planning and design to day-to-day operations at HTA Hospital. The final design represents a comprehensive, secure and high-performance BYOD solution providing the necessary infrastructure, including Wireless access points, Wireless LAN Controllers, Security Appliances, and Network Management Tools. HTA Hospital users vary from Guests to Corporate users and from Employees to Contractors. Users have personal computers and VoIP phones at their desks as well as mobile computers, tablets, and smart phones. The network is used for accessing critical patient data, voice and video traffic, different servers, and for web browsing. This Cisco solution addresses all the requirements of HTA Hospital for building a secure and scalable BYOD network.
