Overview

CCNP Data Center - Firebrand Training Official Cisco Learning Partner

Get your CCNP Data Center certification 26% faster than traditional training. You'll learn how to create, install, and maintain your Data Centre. You'll be able to design and implement Cisco Data Center Unified Computing (DCUC) 5.0 and Cisco Data Center Unified Fabric (DCUF) 5.0 through a combination of classroom-based lectures and practical exercises.

This course is for business services and technology architects, as well as presales, design, and implementation engineers who want to save time and money on their data center design, installation, and maintenance. The CCNP Data Center course will also enable you to implement data centre components such as the Cisco Nexus 7000 Series, Cisco Nexus 5000 Series, Cisco Nexus 2000 Series, Cisco Nexus 1000V Series and the Cisco MDS.

Learn the latest guidelines and principles on Data Center design

You'll be able to choose and design scalable, reliable, and intelligent data centres; to enable unified computing and virtualisation. This course explains the technologies used in modern Cisco-based data centres, based on the Cisco Unified Computing Systems (UCS).

We'll cover the following components of an IT-environment:

  • Contemporary virtualisation solutions (e.g. VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V)
  • Operating systems (e.g. Microsoft Windows and Linux)
  • Applications (e.g. database, collaboration).

Seven reasons why you should sit your CCNP Data Center course with Firebrand Training

  1. You'll be CCNP Data Center certified in just 14 days. With us, you’ll be CCNP Data Center trained in record time
  2. Our CCNP Data Center course is all-inclusive. A one-off fee covers all course materials, exams, accommodation and meals. No hidden extras
  3. Pass CCNP Data Center first time or train again for free. This is our guarantee. We’re confident you’ll pass your course first time. But if not, come back within a year and only pay for accommodation, exams and incidental costs
  4. You’ll learn more CCNP Data Center. A day with a traditional training provider generally runs from 9am – 5pm, with a nice long break for lunch. With Firebrand Training you’ll get at least 12 hours/day quality learning time, with your instructor
  5. You’ll learn CCNP Data Center faster. Chances are, you’ll have a different learning style to those around you. We combine visual, auditory and tactile styles to deliver the material in a way that ensures you will learn faster and more easily
  6. You’ll be studying CCNP Data Center with the best. We’ve been named in Training Industry’s “Top 20 IT Training Companies of the Year” every year since 2010. As well as winning many more awards, we’ve trained and certified 134,561 professionals, and we’re partners with all of the big names in the business
  7. You'll do more than study CCNP Data Center courseware. We use practical exercises to make sure you can apply your new knowledge to the work environment. Our instructors use demonstrations and real-world experience to keep the day interesting and engaging

Benefits

Other accelerated training providers rely heavily on lecture and independent self-testing and study.

Effective technical instruction must be highly varied and interactive to keep attention levels high, promote camaraderie and teamwork between the students and instructor, and solidify knowledge through hands-on learning.

Firebrand Training provides instruction to meet every learning need:

  • Intensive group instruction
  • One-on-one instruction attention
  • Hands-on labs
  • Lab partner and group exercises
  • Question and answer drills
  • Independent study

This information has been provided as a helpful tool for candidates considering training. Courses that include certification come with a certification guarantee. Pass first time or train again for free (just pay for accommodation and exams on your return). We do not make any guarantees about personal successes or benefits of obtaining certification. Benefits of certification determined through studies do not guarantee any particular personal successes.
