ARCH - Designing Cisco Network Service Architectures v3.0 Course Details:

In this course, you will learn the conceptual, intermediate, and detailed design of a network infrastructure that supports desired network solutions over intelligent network services in order to achieve effective performance, scalability, and availability. This is an advanced course designed for CCNA and CCDA certified personnel, or those with equivalent experience in routing and switching Cisco networks. You will learn how to apply Cisco network solution models and recommended design practices, to provide viable and stable enterprise internetworking solutions.

Additionally, you will learn the concepts that are necessary to design converged enterprise networks. You will also cover enterprise campus, data center, e-commerce, IP addressing and routing, security solutions, VPNs, IP multicast, and security in a borderless cloud environment.
