The video walks you through Cisco Nexus 1000V installation in Layer 3 mode using InstallerApp to install both VSM and VEM. We will see how the installation process has become automated. There are pros and cons to this method, which we will observe and discuss throughout the video. This lab takes what we have discussed on the Nexus 1000V introduction video, and applies them into actual implementation. 

In part 2, we will be installing VEM using InstallerApp and VUM and provide comparison between the two methods.
You can also find detailed discussion on deployment options and more extensive comparison between Layer 2 and Layer 3 mode at the link below.
