INTUCSX - Administering Cisco UCS X-Series Solutions with Intersight

This deep-dive training focuses on the Cisco UCS X-Series server family and how Cisco Intersight serves as the centralized enablement and management platform for UCS environments. The course covers both on-premises and SaaS Intersight deployment models, advanced Intersight capabilities, and comprehensive management of physical, virtual, and cloud platforms. Participants learn how to design, deploy, operate, and maintain UCS X-Series infrastructure using Intersight Managed Mode (IMM), along with advanced services such as Intersight Workload Optimizer (IWO), Intersight Service for Terraform (IST), Intersight Cloud Orchestrator (ICO), and API-driven automation. Extensive hands-on labs reinforce real-world operational and automation scenarios.
