Designing and Implementing Cloud Connectivity (ENCC) v1.0

Cloud connectivity planning and implementation training helps develop the skills needed to plan and implement enterprise cloud connectivity solutions. You will learn how to use both private and public Internet connections to extend your business network to cloud providers. You will learn about the basic concepts of public cloud infrastructure and how services such as Software as a Service (SaaS) can be integrated. You will practice analyzing and recommending connection models that provide the best possible user experience. Learn how to implement both Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) and Software Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) cloud connectivity, and how to create overlay routing using Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). . Finally, you will practice troubleshooting cloud connectivity related to IPsec, SD-WAN, routing, application performance, and policy implementation.This training will prepare you for the 300-440 ENCC exam. Upon passing, you will earn the Cisco Certified Specialist-Enterprise Cloud Connectivity certification and complete the Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) Enterprise certification concentration exam requirement.You will also receive 32 Continuing Education (CE) credits from this training. for recertification.

Mohammad was an amazing professor. I do not have a strong networking background and Mohammad was very patient in teaching me the basics in topics like wireless. The way he taught (hands on/labs) really helped solidify everything we learned through the 5 days of classes. I have nothing but positive feedback for the way he taught these course and his personality was amazing. 10/10 professor.
