The NetQ Deployment course is ideal for IT professionals who want to learn how to deploy, manage, and optimize NVIDIA NetQ in data center or AI Factory environments. By taking this course, you’ll gain knowledge in setting up real-time network monitoring, troubleshooting network issues proactively, and improving performance for AI workloads - all critical skills in modern high-performance data centers.
You will learn how to: • Deploy NetQ systems, agents, and CLI tools across switches and BlueField DPUs. • Manage multi-site environments, perform system backups, and execute upgrades. • Integrate NetQ with Grafana and external time-series databases for improved observability. • Use advanced telemetry, validation, and “What Just Happened” (WJH) features to monitor network health, detect issues, and troubleshoot performance problems in AI workloads.
1. Introduction to NetQ • Overview of NetQ Architecture and GUI • What Just Happened (WJH) overview 2. NetQ Installation Process Management • Installation process and system setup • Creating VMs in ESXi and first-time login • Installing and configuring NetQ agents and CLI • Installing NIC and DPU agents 3. NetQ Management Post Installation • Configuring multiple premises • Integration with Grafana • Backup, restore, and upgrade procedures • Troubleshooting techniques
By the end of the course, participants will be able to: • Deploy NetQ VMs, CLIs, and Agents across switches and BlueField DPUs • Manage and monitor distributed environments effectively • Integrate with Grafana and external TSDBs for custom dashboards • Leverage telemetry tools to identify faults, analyze network behavior, and maintain configuration consistency
• Network Administrators • DevOps Engineers • Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) • Data center operations staff responsible for managing NVIDIA Ethernet fabrics and AI infrastructure
• Basic networking knowledge (TCP/IP, switching, routing protocols such as BGP/OSPF) • Linux system administration skills (command line, file systems, service management) • Understanding of virtualization (VMware ESXi) • General knowledge of modern data center and AI Factory architecture • Familiarity with NVIDIA Spectrum switches and BlueField DPUs (recommended, not required)
