    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.
