SD Access Design

Concepts and Use Cases

Cisco Platinum Learning Partner Logo

Software Defined Access (SDA) is a new approach in enterprise networking. It combines the aspects of access security, automation and standardization. At Cisco Systems, SDA is closely linked to the Cisco DNA Center product, which is the central component in the concept of so-called Intent Based Networking. Another product is the so-called Identity Service Engine (ISE), which is essential for setting up an SDA solution. The course describes the underlying principles of SDA and how the individual components and protocols work together. The focus here is more on the design aspects than on the actual implementation of SDA in the enterprise network.

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.

Tailor-made courses

You need a special course for your team? In addition to our standard offer, we will also support you in creating your customized courses, which precisely meet your individual demands. We will be glad to consult you and create an individual offer for you.
