So what do you do with a good thing? You figure out how to make it even better, right? Of course!<\/p>\n<p>On that note I am thrilled to present a\u00a0<code class=\"highlighter-rouge\">new and improved 12 part video series covering Cisco UCS Networking!<\/code>\u00a0This series obsoletes the prior set with new, updated, and re-recorded content inspired from new developments in UCS Manager since the last series. Much of this content I created for and presented at Cisco Live Europe 2011 (London) for the session BRKCOM-2003 (UCS Networking 201 &#8211; Deep Dive) on February 4, 2011. Thanks to those that attended! It was a fun session and a great audience.<\/p>\n<p>This content and video series is not really a \u201cDeep Dive\u201d in the true technical sense. Rather, this content is intended to be more of an Intermediate technical level geared towards the Data Center Architect, Network Designer, or IT Manager, to aid in understanding the overall architecture, best practices, and system level capabilities Cisco UCS brings to the data center.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Enjoy!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"part-1---the-physical-architecture-of-ucs\">Part 1 &#8211; The Physical Architecture of UCS<\/h2>\n<p>In this video we take a look at the physical network architecture of Cisco UCS and incorporate the new capability of connecting both blade and rack mount servers to UCS Manager.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4ohGQUraFjE?rel=0\" width=\"595\" height=\"485\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 id=\"part-2---infrastructure-virtualization--logical-architecture\">Part 2 &#8211; Infrastructure Virtualization &amp; Logical Architecture<\/h2>\n<p>Here we look at how Cisco UCS virtualizes every significant component of the physical architecture; switches, cables, adapters, and servers.
