Overview

The Cisco Ultra M Deployment and Operations (SPMB301) v1.0 course teaches you about the hardware components of the Cisco® Ultra M virtual packet core solution, including Cisco Nexus® spine and leaf switches and Cisco Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS®) C240 M4S (Small Form Factor) servers. You will learn about the software components of the Ultra M solution, including the OpenStack Virtual Infrastructure Manager (VIM), the Ultra M Virtualized Network Function (VNF) architecture, and the Cisco Elastic Services Controller, and how the different components operate. The course also covers the operation and administration of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system in relation to the Ultra M Undercloud and Overcloud deployments.

This course will help you:

  • Practice deploying the Ultra M virtualization platform
  • Prepare to use Ultra M to simplify the deployment of mobile core VNFs
