1 CNS-220-1I: Citrix NetScaler Essentials and Traffic Management Overview Designed fr students with little r n previus NetScaler experience, this curse is best suited fr individuals wh will be deplying r managing NetScaler envirnments. What s New? This curse has been cmpletely redevelped and imprves upn its predecessr CNS-205: Citrix Citrix NetScaler Essentials and Netwrking in the fllwing ways: Imprved curse structure and flw t fcus n Citrix NetScaler Essentials fr the first three days, and Citrix Traffic Management fr the remaining tw days. New lab envirnment redesigned and built fr enhanced perfrmance. Incrprated enhancements based n feedback gathered ver the last year. New cntent intrduced thrughut the curse. Part 1: Citrix NetScaler Essentials - Days 1-3 Learn the skills required t implement Citrix NetScaler Essential cmpnents including secure Lad Balancing, High Availability, and NetScaler Management. At the end f the curse, students will be able t cnfigure their NetScaler envirnments t address traffic delivery and management requirements including Lad Balancing, Availability, and NetScaler Operatin Management. Part 2: NetScaler Citrix Traffic Management - Days 4-5 Learn the skills required t cnfigure and manage NetScaler Citrix Traffic Management features, including Cntent Switching, Traffic Optimizatin, and Glbal Server Lad Balancing. At the end f the curse, students will be able t cnfigure their NetScaler envirnments t address efficient traffic switching and resilience requirements including Cntent Switching, Traffic Optimizatin, and Disaster Recvery. Recmmended pre-requisite curses CNS-102 NetScaler Overview Nte: Students lking t expand their knwledge arund NetScaler Gateway functinality shuld take CNS-222 (Citrix NetScaler Essentials and Unified Gateway) instead f this class. This curse is based n the Citrix NetScaler 11 prduct, but the skills and fundamental cncepts learned are cmmn t earlier prduct versins.
