In this Guest Expert spot from StormWind's Cisco Data Center Unified Computing Design course, Sharon March describes this valuable tool. This clip is an example of the real-world, online HD certification training done at StormWind.com.

In this post mapping to the new CCIE Data Center certification, we will examine the architecture of the important Nexus 1000V switch. I find that many students are a little foggy when it comes to this new and very interesting piece of technology from Cisco. First of all, real simple, when you see the V – think virtual.

In this clip from the Ciso Data Center Unified Computing Design course here at StormWindLive, Guest Expert Sharon March discusses with students the arrival of Intel's Romley architecture to the Cisco Unified Computing System. This clip is an example of the real-world, online HD certification training done at StormWind.com.

This is very much a work in progress and I will be adding to these topics and links!
