Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP Data Center) certification is the professional level certification in Data Center domain offered by Cisco Systems. CCNP Data Center training builds a strong foundation for managing, installing, configuring, and maintaining a Data Center Infrastructure.
As a Cisco CCNP Data Center Certified Professional, you will have hands-on skills for working in Complex DC environments making use of advanced technologies such as – virtualization, orchestration and automation; data center security, unified computing, integration of cloud initiatives and policy-driven infrastructure.


ITGAT CCNP Data Center Training provides in-depth knowledge on advanced Cisco Data Center technologies. Post completion of your CCNP Data Center course at ITGAT, you will be eligible for senior level job roles which include Data Center Network Engineer, Data Center Architect, Network Design Engineer, DC Support Engineer, Cisco Data center Implementation Engineer, and DC Pre-sales Engineer.

ITGAT provides online CCNP course training on real Cisco devices (Routers and Switches), with 24x7 virtual Lab Facility. CCNP curriculum is designed as per CCNP Certification exam blueprints provided by Cisco. In order to prepare for latest CCNP DC Certification online exam conducted by Cisco, candidates are provided with complete study material i.e. Cisco Exam Guide, Lab Manual, Work Book, and Rack to practice labs.
