Overview

The CCNP Data Center certification qualifies you for professional-level positions in Cisco data center technology. Automation and programmability are now included in CCNP Data Center to help you scale your data center infrastructure.

By enabling new applications and enterprises that link everything – people, devices, and machines – technological advancements are generating more data than ever before. Data center teams may use automation to scale and safeguard their infrastructure with intent-based networking. To take advantage of these opportunities, today’s data center employees must have a broader set of skills and a greater understanding of strategic technology areas. That breadth and depth is provided by the CCNP Data Center certification programme.

Obtaining CCNP Data Center certification validates your knowledge of data center solutions. To obtain CCNP Data Center certification, you must pass two exams: one covering core data center technologies and one covering a data center concentration of your choice, allowing you to tailor your certification to your technical area of focus.
