DCCOR Training for Your Team — Implementing and Operating Cisco Data Center Core Technologies
Data centers concentrate risk: one fabric misstep or one misunderstood storage path affects every application the business runs. DCCOR (Implementing and Operating Cisco Data Center Core Technologies) is the professional-level course for the people who carry that risk — covering data center networking, compute, storage networking and automation as one operated system, at the depth where design trade-offs live.
It is also the certification core: exam 350-601 anchors CCNP Data Center and qualifies candidates for the CCIE Data Center lab. Integrators building a data center practice need engineers at exactly this level; in-house teams typically take it before a fabric refresh, an ACI decision or a compute platform migration.
We organize DCCOR through authorized partners with licensed labs, matching instructors to your environment — live online in your time zone, on site, or as a private group with topic weighting agreed in advance.
Who this course is for
- Data center network engineers moving to professional-level depth
- Compute and virtualization admins whose scope grew into the DC network
- Integrator teams needing certified specialists for Cisco data center practice requirements
- Engineers preparing for CCNP or CCIE Data Center
What your team will learn
Topic areas below are grouped in our own words. The full official agenda is available on request — it comes from the authorized partner as part of your quote.
- Data center switching that scales: fabrics, overlays and where spanning tree goes to retire
- Compute infrastructure — running server estates as policy, not per-box configuration
- Storage networking fundamentals: getting blocks and files through the fabric reliably
- Automation and orchestration of data center infrastructure
- Application-centric infrastructure concepts and when a fabric controller earns its keep
- Operating the whole stack: monitoring, telemetry and maintenance without downtime

DCCOR vs alternatives: which to choose
Factual criteria only — level, duration, audience and certification. The right choice depends on your team's starting point and stack.
Cisco ENCOR
The enterprise (campus/WAN) professional core. Choose ENCOR if your world is offices, campus and WAN; DCCOR if it is racks, fabrics, compute and storage. Both are 5-day professional cores with their own CCNP tracks.
Cisco DCACI
A concentration course dedicated to the ACI fabric controller. Choose DCACI when ACI is deployed or decided; DCCOR gives the broader data center core the certification requires and covers ACI at concept level.
A custom intensive
Building or migrating one specific data center? A custom 2–4 day program can cover exactly your design — fabric, compute and storage topics selected around the actual project instead of the full core curriculum.
Need only part of DCCOR?
If your team needs a subset of this program — or a mix of topics from several courses — we build a custom 2–4 day intensive on our own materials, shaped by your infrastructure. One custom program typically replaces 2–3 catalog courses.
Explore custom coursesDCCOR: frequently asked questions
Is DCCOR the right course before an ACI deployment?
It is the right foundation: DCCOR covers ACI concepts within the broader data center core. For the deployment team itself, the dedicated DCACI concentration course is the follow-up — we typically plan both as one sequence.
Which certifications does DCCOR support?
Exam 350-601 is the core of CCNP Data Center (combined with one concentration exam) and the qualification exam for the CCIE Data Center lab. One course, both tracks.
Our team mixes network and compute people — does DCCOR fit both?
Yes, deliberately: the curriculum spans switching, compute and storage networking, which is exactly the cross-domain profile modern DC teams need. Instructors adjust depth per topic for private groups with a known audience mix.
How much automation does the course include?
Automation and orchestration of data center infrastructure is a core exam domain and part of the labs. Teams that want to go further pair DCCOR with DEVASC or a custom automation module.
