Description
Key areas of expertise required: UCS, Openstack, Python
Unified Computing Accelerated Deployment Service: the Unified Computing Accelerated Deployment Service provides planning, design, and implementation expertise to bring a project into production in one segment of your data center within four weeks. Design the production scope that the engagement will cover. At the end of the engagement, provide documentation of the recommended next steps, an architectural design, and a run book to scale the implementation throughout your environment. UCS, Openstack and python Scripting and multicast experience are a must have.
Key Domain expertise: Ability to Design, Deploy, Manage, and Operate an End-to-End DC Virtualization and Cloud Architecture
- Broad technical knowledge of the data center and its components: Applications, Storage, Network, Server and projects surrounding their planning, design, implementation, operation, and optimization.
- Architectural knowledge of virtualization tools and concepts
- Architectural knowledge of Three Tiered application environments
- Experience with Scripting languages such as Perl, Python, or Bash. Python experience is strongly preferred.
- Networking: OSI Layer 2 (Spanning tree, vPC, EtherChannel, VLAN, etc), Layer 3 switching/routing (OSPF, EIGRP, ISIS, BGP, MPLS, IPv4/6), DNS/DHCP WAN/ISP, network virtualization (N1kv, VRF), basics of higher layer protocols: SSL/TLS, HTTP, Real Time traffic (voice/video), NFS, database access protocols
- Compute technologies: x86, hypervisor (Openstack/KVM), OS (Linux/Windows), workload mobility
- Programmatic control of infrastructure elements (data model, API), integration frameworks and technologies (SP-style)
- Cisco's Data Center Product Line: Nexus Products (N7K, N5k, N2k, N1kV), Catalyst products (65xx, 49xx Switches), and UCS.
- Content Switching (OSI Layer 4-7 Switching, Loadbalancers), Caching and Content Delivery
- Network/Infrastructure Security technologies (Firewall, access control, intrusion detection, intrusion prevention, administrative access control) and
- OSS/BSS, including: Network Management Systems, Service Delivery, Service Fulfillment (including the network inventory, activation and provisioning), Service Assurance, Customer Care
