ACUCW2 – Administering Cisco Unified Communications Workspace Part 2: Advanced v11.5

This course includes Cisco Training Exclusives

EXCLUSIVE TO GLOBAL KNOWLEDGE – Accelerate your Cisco learning experience with complimentary access to the IT Skills Video On-Demand Library, Introduction to Cybersecurity digital learning course, course recordings, IT Resource Library, and digital courseware.

Learn more

This exclusive course focuses on dial plan, call control, and advanced system features in an environment that is similar to what you will see in your own system, including:

Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) v11.5
Cisco Unified IM&P v11.5
Client devices such as Jabber

This hands-on, exclusive course builds on the foundation provided by ACUCW1 and focuses on advanced administration of Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) v11.5. In this course, you will learn to build the UC infrastructure, including deploying a variable-length on-net dial plan that supports multiple sites.

After learning how to configure the system, you’ll discover how native presence and instant messaging and presence can enhance collaboration. You’ll deploy a client services framework client, Jabber, and explore the challenges that are presented by the North American Numbering Plan (NANP). You will explore bandwidth management and call admission control tools used to manage calling in a network with multiple sites. You will learn about mobility features, including device mobility, extension mobility, and unified mobility (single number reach), that are used in networks with multiple sites. You will configure hunt lists, call park options, and configure IP phone services.

Why Take ACUCW2 from Global Knowledge?
We have the only courses specifically designed for administrators of Cisco UC products:

ACUCW1: Entry-level administrators
ACUCW2: Second-level/advanced administrators

Global Knowledge is the only training partner offering a real-world lab topology that is specifically designed for the needs of North American students. Our UC courses provide a simulated PSTN, enabling you to gain an understanding of the NANP and its concepts that are associated with a variable-length on-net dial plan supporting multiple sites with overlapping extensions.

In this class, you will build a complete dial plan, including Class of Service and test calling to 3-digit, 7-digit, 10-digit, 11-digit, and international route patterns. You will investigate uncommon issues with overlapping 7- and 10-digit locations and work with a real dial plan that includes:

911
3-digit service codes: 411, 511, etc.
7-digit local numbers: 555-1901
10-digit local numbers: 416-777-1901
11-digit long distance numbers: 1-733-802-1901
International numbers: 011441902

Our next-generation Cisco UC platform combines the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) with a VMware DRS cluster, distributing the load for individual classrooms across 16 UCS B-Series blades provisioned with 1.6 TB of RAM. You will access and control your environment using the vSphere client in the same way you would in a production environment. Taking advantage of the improved performance of the UCS environment, we can deploy additional capabilities while improving classroom performance. Our new UC on UCS lab environment provides enhanced and exclusive labs that you wonï¿½t find with any other training provider.

SAN Volume Controller (SVC) Planning and Implementation Workshop

Learn how to leverage SAN storage connectivity by integrating a layer of intelligence or virtualization, the SAN Volume Controller (SVC) to facilitate storage application data access independence from storage management functions and requirements. This course will focus on planning and implementation tasks associated with integrating the SVC into the storage area network. It also explains how to:

Centralize storage provisioning to host servers from common storage pools.
Facilitate the coexistence and migration of data from non-virtualized to the virtualized environment.
Improve storage utilization effectiveness using Thin Provisioning and Real-time Compression.
Implement storage tiering and optimize solid state drives (SSDs) or flash systems usage with Easy Tier.
Utilize network-level storage subsystem-independent data replication services to satisfy backup and disaster recovery requirements.
