With the triumph of SDN and NFV for the operation and automation of networks, orchestrator functions have also become important. These systems can translate the parameters of network services directly into configuration that is sent to the affected systems. The Network Services Orchestrator (NSO) from Cisco is a very flexibly designed system. On the one hand, it can communicate directly with devices from a large number of manufacturers. It also extends its feelers in the direction of SDN controllers and virtual infrastructure. The training introduces the basic operating elements and features of the NSO. In addition, typical scenarios are discussed in which the use of the NSO proves useful.

Classroom training
- Do you prefer the classic training method? A course in one of our Training Centers, with a competent trainer and the direct exchange between all course participants? Then you should book one of our classroom training dates!
-
Hybrid training
- Hybrid training means that online participants can additionally attend a classroom course. The dynamics of a real seminar are maintained, and the online participants are able to benefit from that. Online participants of a hybrid course use a collaboration platform, such as WebEx Training Center or Saba Meeting. To do this, a PC with browser and Internet access is required, as well as a headset and ideally a Web cam. In the seminar room, we use specially developed and customized audio- and video-technologies. This makes sure that the communication between all persons involved works in a convenient and fault-free way.
-
Online training
- You wish to attend a course in online mode? We offer you online course dates for this course topic. To attend these seminars, you need to have a PC with Internet access (minimum data rate 1Mbps), a headset when working via VoIP and optionally a camera. For further information and technical recommendations, please refer to.
