Cisco Technical Design Architecture Training - Voice

Candidates who have worked with Voice technologies in the field, or architects who spend considerable time working with RFP/RTT/Design processes will greatly benefit from this class.

A good understanding of Voice/telecom technologies and their interactions are essential in order to fully benefit from this class, including students who have studied the Cisco Voice certification track, as the basic principles of network and telecom, IPT and basic configuration/operation shall be considered as assumed knowledge.

The class is delivered over 5 days and offers detailed design models, customer scenarios and best practice methodologies for students to learn from. Via interactive workshops, students will gain invaluable insight as to what and how to extract the right information from the customer, and when to trust this or investigate independently.

With a 60/40% split between technical and methodology respectively, Architect's Angel is a thought provoking class where (like reality) 'one shoe does not fit all' - as a result the topics addressed are diverse and extremely practical in nature:

• Deep architectural understanding of the Cisco converged network technology product suite, their dependencies, interactions, integration options and deployment models.
• How to interpret the customer requirements and effectively translate those requirements into an optimum solution that is scalable, supportable and cost effective.
• The various product lines, their application and implementation requirements.
• How to correctly scale a solution based on organisation size and future growth, whilst considering the impact to cost and budget.
• Understanding redundancy design and where and when it becomes essential in contrast to the financial trade-off.
• How to create successful engineering and implementation documentation for field deployment.
• Sample templates and industry proven models to save time in creating solutions for customers at short notice, without investing too much time and effort until the opportunity is qualified by the sales team.
• Network capacity requirements, benchmarking and research requirements (the investigative phase).

This class provides individuals who are tasked with the creation of solutions for customers with a broad technology overview, whilst deep diving into the common areas that are typically more challenging. Students will complete the course with a very practical approach to Cisco UC architecture and design based on industry best practices and a variety of proven efficiency techniques to assist one in mitigating design errors whilst delivering and exceeding customer requirements. The class methodology is based on deep theoretical lectures, followed through with practical exposure wherever possible, such as global dial plan design configurations and redundancy configurations - their impact and what you can expect to see at the customer site once deployed.
