Implementing and Operating Cisco Data Center Core Technologies

Duration: 5 Days Course Code: DCCOR Version: 1.1

Overview:
The Implementing and Operating Cisco Data Center Core Technologies course helps you prepare for the Cisco CCNP Data Center and
CCIE Data Center certifications and for advanced-level data center roles. Learn to master the skills and technologies you need to implement
data center compute, LAN and SAN infrastructure. Understand the essentials of automation and security in data centers. Gain hands-on
experience with deploying, securing, operating, and maintaining Cisco data center infrastructure including: Cisco MDS Switches and Cisco
Nexus Switches; Cisco Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS®) B-Series Blade Servers, and Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers.
Please note that this course is a combination of Instructor-Led and Self-Paced Study - 5 days in the classroom and approx 3 days of
self study. The self-study content will be provided as part of the digital courseware that you recieve at the beginning of the course
and should be part of your preparation for the exam.

This course will help you:

Gain experience implementing, securing and automating network, compute, and storage infrastructure
Gain knowledge and skills through Cisco’s unique combination of lessons and hands-on practice using enterprise-grade Cisco learning
technologies, data center equipment, and software
Qualify for professional and expert-level job roles in the high-demand area of enterprise-class data center environments
Prepare to take the 350-601 Implementing Cisco Data Center Core Technologies (DCCOR) exam.
Earn 64 CE credits toward recertification
