In this intermediate Cisco Data Center 350-601 DCCOR training, Jeff Kish and David Smith covers the essential skills a data center professional must know about automation and orchestration, integration of cloud initiatives, virtualization, data center security, and unified computing.

Many workloads and apps may be moving to the cloud, but that doesn’t mean on-prem data centers are going away. In fact, many companies prefer their data center for security and performance. That’s great news for anyone advancing their DC career with the CCNP Data Center. After finishing this Data Center training, you’ll know how to design, deploy, and manage a data center.

For IT managers, this Data Center training can be used for broad, expert-level training in data center operations and management, for on-boarding new infrastructure engineers, or as part of a team training plan.

This training covers learning objectives from several CCNP Data Center certification exams and will teach you the following topics:

• Cisco Unified Computing: platforms, monitoring, automation, security, storage
• Data Center Protocols: implementation, BGP, VXLAN, OTV, LISP, OSPF, STP, etc.
• Maintenance, Management, and Operations: configuration management, software updates, infrastructure monitoring, time synchronization
• Data Center infrastructure security: ACLs, AAA, RBAC, port security, etc.
• Virtualization and automation: logical device separation, configuration profiles, scripting tools
• Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI): fabric discovery, network resources, management and monitoring
• Datacenter design: network connectivity, infrastructure, storage network, compute connectivity, compute resources

This Data Center training is considered professional-level Cisco training, which means it was designed for infrastructure engineers. This CCNP Data Center course is designed for infrastructure engineers with three to five years of experience with Cisco infrastructure.

New or aspiring network administrator. Early in your career as a network administrator, you have a lot of choices to make about the trajectory you want your career to take. Choosing between different routes means emphasizing one set of skills over another. If you’re aiming your career toward on-premise data center management, this training can make you an expert in their operation and prepare you early for certification and mastery. At the same time, if you’re not sure that’s the way you want your career to go, this training is also a great way to learn what exactly goes into Cisco data center management so that you can make an informed decision later in your career.

Experienced infrastructure engineers. Working as a Cisco engineer requires continuous learning and professional development. And the speed of change looks like it’s increasing as more technical advances become an integral part of the network engineer’s daily work. This CCNP Data Center training will prepare even the most experienced infrastructure engineers for recertification. Plus it’ll both refresh and update the engineer’s knowledge of data center methods and best practices.

From this CCNP Data Center training, you’ll learn the skills and technologies necessary for implementing data center infrastructure that supports compute, LAN and SAN solutions. As you prepare for the CCNP Data Center core exam, you’ll master automation and security in data centers as well as managing Cisco data centers.

The CCNP Data Center is a professional-level certification, and this course is probably a little too advanced for most beginners. Systems and network administrators with several years of experience on Cisco networks are the best candidates for this course that covers advanced topics in implementing advanced Cisco data center infrastructure.

Yes, this course covers all the information you’ll find on the CCNP Data Center’s core exam, 350-601 DCCOR. That exam tests your familiarity with implementing core data center technologies in networking, compute, storage network, automation and security. Earning the CCNP Data Center also requires a second exam of your choice.

You should definitely plan to earn the CCNP Data Center after you take this course. But this course only covers the 350-601 DCCOR, which is the mandatory core exam for the CCNP Data Center. You’ll need to choose and prepare for the specialization/concentration exam in addition to 350-601.

There are plenty of reasons to take this CCNP Data Center training – you don’t even have to plan on earning the CCNP Data Center. This course is an in-depth explanation of implementing network, compute, storage network, automation and security technologies on a Cisco network – master them and your network.
