Assignment # 10--Episode 91: Prime Time for Policy, Identity, and Management

Video: 60min. This video talks about Cisco Prime and how it makes management of multiple products easier. Also, talks about NCS (network control system) and shows how Prime is universal and will work with NCA and some of the other Cisco products. This is a very long video. Could only understand some of it. Does give a lot of pictures and they try to give a lot of detail so it is not that hard for you to understand what Prime is and how to use it with multiple products.

Assignment # 9--Windows XP Pro Series

Website Video:30:00 min. This video talks about Windows XP mode. The video also talks about, features and capabilities in Windows XP mode along with, guidance for IT pros to use Windows XP mode in business's and home offices. Very good video to watch. A lot of information about how to use Windows XP mode and it's features for that you could use in everyday life, a business, and just about anything else you could think of. I thought this was a very handy video to watch.

Video:12:34 min. This is a very interesting video and has a lot of information about QoS. In this video, Jimmy Ray says that,"QoS is only as good as its weakest link on the network". He also says, "Find out where QoS is not in your network and that is probably were your problem is on your network". I have learned that QoS can be in layer 1,2,3, and 4. Jimmy Ray talks briefly about QoS in all the layers.

TechWise TV Episode 3-14:07 min. I really enjoyed watching this video. Very in depth. Also, this video is a hands-on tour on how the MSE is needed in any business or any engineer. This is a mobility tool that is a required addition and has many improvements since it first came out. MSE=excellent en vent correlation, and is very easy to set up and has a lot of new features. MSE helps with seeing what is interfering with your wireless connection.

Assignment#6--Journey to Cloud Services

TechWise TV episode 111-23:07 min Before watching this video I did not even know what a Cloud Service was. Now I can say I kind of know what it means now. In this video they talk about Cisco's kick-start on the Cloud Service. What I understand from this video, is that the Cloud is for any kind of device/thing and a user can use the Cloud Service for his/her device.

Lastly this video talks about the 2.2 media net and how it relates to the media trace (how A is getting to B) and calibration manager (every call in process). This tool helps visualize the different problems in the technology field.
All in all this is a very good video to watch. Only some of the speakers I could not understand.
