Achieving CCNP Data Center certification validates your skills with Cisco data center solutions.

The CCNP Data Center certification prepares you for professional-level job roles in Cisco data center technologies. CCNP Data Center now includes automation and programmability to help you scale your data center infrastructure.

Technology advances are generating more data than ever before, by enabling new applications and businesses that connect everything - people, devices, and machines. With intent-based networking, data center teams can take advantage of automation to scale and secure their infrastructure. To capitalize on these opportunities, today’s data center professionals need a broader range of skills and deeper focus in strategic technology areas. The CCNP Data Center certification program gives you exactly that breadth and depth.

Achieving CCNP Data Center certification proves your skills with data center solutions. To earn CCNP Data Center certification, you pass two exams: one that covers core data center technologies and one data center concentration exam of your choice, so you can customize your certification to your technical area of focus.
