Implementing Cisco SD-WAN Solutions – CEST

Deep dive understanding of Implementing Cisco Viptela SD-WAN solution for an enterprise. This 3-day workshop will focus on understanding from scratch the architecture of Cisco SD-WAN (Viptela) solution as well as run through deployment as well as operational element of the solution. The workshop focusses on a wide spectrum of Cisco SD-WAN offerings viz. Cloud vs On-Prem controller deployment, Zero touch provisioning, Edge deployment scenarios, Policy construct, App Aware routing, On-Box Security vs cloud security, Operational elements etc.  

Participants will be offered various hands-on labs to enhance their learnings from the workshop.
