Overview

The Implementing and Operating Cisco Data Center Core Technologies (DCCOR) training teaches you to implement data center local area networks (LANs) and storage area networks (SANs) and compute using Cisco Nexus Switches, Cisco MDS Switches, Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) B-Series Blade Servers, and Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers. You will also learn the essentials of automation and security in data centers. The training provides rich, hands-on experience with deploying, securing, operating, and maintaining Cisco data center networking, storage, and computing.

This training prepares you for 350-601 DCCOR exam. If passed, you earn the Cisco Certified Specialist – Data Center Core certification and satisfy the core exam requirements for the Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) Data Center and Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) Data Center certifications. This training also earns you 64 Continuing Education (CE) credits toward recertification.
