Computer Science / Software Defined Networking

Software Defined Networking (SDN) Deployment

Brought by: edX

Overview

The aim of this course is to equip learners with advanced skills in network automation and make them industry ready.

In this course, you will learn about SDN Deployment. The course has been designed with a practical, hands-on approach to help you obtain a better understanding of how to deploy virtual network functions and services on a testbed platform.

We will explore the deployment of network services under mobility using a testbed platform supported by Cisco, integrating SDN/NFV and MEC technologies.

The course has been designed by an academic team with extensive teaching experience and a successful track record of delivering high quality MOOC courses, including the MicroMasters in The Internet of Things, in which over a quarter of a million edX learners have enrolled.

Verified learners will be provided with additional, free access to Cisco Networking Academy courses.
