JNCIS Data Center Expert (JNCIS-DC)

This course demands a lot from network engineers familiar with zero-touch provisioning (ZTP), understanding of multi-chassis link aggregation group (LAG) concepts, familiarity with Layer 2 and 3 technologies, ability to use VXLAN planes and more.

Obviously moving that much data in and around a data center requires armies of well-trained, experienced professionals who understand specific and general concepts that support speed, security and efficiency — which is exactly where this training comes in.

This 60hrs (Lectures + hands-on Lab) This course is demanding a lot from network engineers familiar with zero touch provisioning (ZTP), understanding of multichassis link aggregation group (LAG) concepts, familiar with Layer 2 and 3 technologies, ability to use VXLAN planes and more.

Obviously moving that much data in and around a data center requires armies of well-trained, experienced professionals who understand specific and general concepts that support speed, security, and efficiency — which is exactly where this training comes in.
