Data Center Networking

In the Cisco Data Center Networking trainings, network administrators and engineers will master the operation, architecture, components, and connectivity features of the modern Cisco ACI Data Center Network. Acquiring the ability to install, configure, and manage data center technology requires knowledge and skills on the latest products and industry best practices. Cisco achieves this requirement with fundamental trainings in Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC), digital transformation OnRamp, distributed networking, and network provisioning and operations.

Level 2 trainings marked with an * are available for Continuing Education (CE) credit.
