Citrix ADC Essentials and Traffic Management (CNS-220) : Duration: 5 Days

Citrix ADC Essentials and Traffic
Management (CNS-220)
Duration : 5 Days
COURSE OVERVIEW
In this course, you will learn the skills that are required for implementing NetScaler
components including secure load balancing, high availability, and NetScaler management.
You will learn how to configure your NetScaler environments to address traffic delivery and
management requirements including load balancing, availability, and NetScaler operation
management.
You will also learn how to configure and manage NetScaler Traffic Management features,
including content switching, traffic optimization, and global server load balancing. At the end
of the course, you will be able to configure your NetScaler environments to address efficient
traffic switching and resilience requirements including content switching, traffic optimization,
and disaster recovery.
This course is based on the Citrix NetScaler product but the skills and fundamental
concepts are common to earlier product versions. A voucher for the Citrix Certified
Professional – Networking (CCP-N) exam will be issued in this course.
