Introducing Cisco Unified Computing System: Learn Cisco UCS with Cisco UCSPE

by Stuart Fordham

The Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) can be found in the majority of data centers across the world. However, getting hands-on practice to learn this infrastructure can be difficult, as many companies will push to have it production-ready as soon as possible. Home-labs are also cost-prohibitive, cumbersome, electricity-hungry, and noisy. So, how do you get hands-on experience? With Unified Computing System Platform Emulator (UCSPE) and this book. UCSPE is free and can run on a laptop. Using it along with this book, you will learn how to set up, manage and troubleshoot a UCS, including the fabric interconnects, chassis and IOMs, and servers through the GUI and the CLI. All from the comfort of your own home. Introducing Cisco Unified Computing System will show you how to set up a UCS (comparing the UCSPE to a real-world deployment), customize the hardware, configure the UCS system, and secure it. You'll start by creating an organization and then the policies to control storage, networking, boot options, maintenance policies, and server pools. Once you have the required policies you'll use them to create service profiles (using the policies) and templates and assign these to the blade and rack-mount servers in the virtual environment. You'll also be looking at real-life scenarios such as upgrades (and downgrades), northbound networking, and Storage Area Networking (SAN) connectivity. Using the GUI and the CLI you'll look at real-world examples that data center engineers may encounter. What You'll Learn Set up the Cisco UCSPE on VMWareCreate UCS service profiles Secure the UCS system Troubleshoot the UCSWho This Book Is For Datacenter and network engineers and individuals studying for the CCNA and CCNP Cisco data center qualification.

Introducing Communication Theory: Analysis And Application

by Lynn H. Turner Richard West

This popular text introduces the field of communication to students who may have little or no background in communication theory. Its three overriding goals are to help students understand the pervasiveness of theory in their lives, to demystify the theoretical process, and to help students become more systematic and critical on their thinking about theory. Each theory chapter follows a consistent format that includes a vignette, an introduction, a summary of assumptions, a description of core concepts, and a critique. This consistency provides continuity for students and ensures a balanced presentation of theories. The Third edition includes the most current communication research available (at the time), with over 100 new references.

Introducing Dart Sass: A Practical Introduction to the Replacement for Sass, Built on Dart
