Implementing Cisco Data Center Network Infrastructure Part 1(DCNI1)

This course offers Data Centre-oriented content primarily focused on the Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series switches, Cisco Catalyst 4900 Series top-of-rack switches, and to a lesser degree, Blade switches. This is one of six courses and exams that support the Advanced Data Centre Networking Infrastructure partner specialization.

CCNP or CCIE Routing & Switching or CCIE Service Provider or equivalent experience. The following Cisco learning offerings are recommended so the learner can benefit fully from this course:
• ROUTE
• SWITCH
• ONT
• ISCW

• Channel Partners / Resellers
• Customers
• Employees

The goal of the DCNI-1 2.0 curriculum is to enable customers to build scalable, reliable, and intelligent Data Center networks using Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series switches.
