Nutanix Multicloud Infrastructure Design (NMCID)

Description

The Nutanix Multicloud Infrastructure Design (NMCID) course is designed to give you a technical deep dive into Nutanix design methodology, which has been used to consistently deliver business-critical solutions to the most demanding customers.

This four-day course will prepare you to engage with enterprise customers and design Nutanix Hybrid Multicloud solutions that deliver real business value. It focused on Nutanix's methodology for designing multi-hypervisor solutions capable of supporting enterprise-class applications according to clearly defined SLAs.

A key component of this course is the Nutanix Validated Design (NVD). NVDs use robust validation to simplify the process of architecting and deploying solutions. They detail the design decisions that support the deployment of scalable, resilient, and secure solutions. This course will teach you how to use an NVD, in conjunction with validated business requirements, to design a custom solution that follows Nutanix best practices.

You will be divided into teams and engage in a multi-day, interactive role-play exercise to extract the business requirements, technical requirements, risks, and constraints that will shape your solutions. Participation requires daily design presentations from each team and participation in Q&A sessions with instructors and peers. You will be required to present and defend your team's design decisions at each stage of the exercise.

This is an intense and immersive learning experience that will change how you approach solution design and delivery. If your goal is to become a G2000-ready solution architect, this is where your journey begins.
