What Is the Value of Cisco Learning Services Cloud Training?Under pressure to support strategic business objectives, IT is rapidly embracing cloud technologies. Cloud adoption has steadily gained acceptance because it promises to help achieve business goals faster, more efficiently, and more cost-effectively. To take advantage of this opportunity, organizations are using public, private, or hybrid cloud delivery models to deliver personalized services, real-time access to information, and instant communications anytime, anywhere, on any device. It’s crucial that administrators and operators in this space acquire the following cloud-related capabilities:

• Automation and orchestration—deploy new applications and services faster by automating policies and workflows across domains (network, computing, storage, and security).

• Management of virtual and physical infrastructure—connect assets transparently and automatically to create the right capabilities at the right cost.

With cloud computing, you have greater access to more of these services and resources than ever before. While Cisco and our partners are connecting private, public, open, and hybrid clouds with the globally connected network of clouds, Cisco® Learning Services cloud training offers the courses required to help solve these cloud computing challenges.

What Problems Does Cisco Learning Services Cloud Training Help Solve?Creating, configuring, and management of private, hybrid, and public clouds can be complicated. Cisco Learning Services cloud courses offer an excellent solution to some of today’s biggest business and technology challenges.
