Course overview

Download the course datasheetThe full outline for Cisco CCNP Data Center - Implementing Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (DCACI), as a PDF.
thinQtank® Learning is offering a unique five-day training camp comprised of five days of instructor-led learning that gives students the knowledge and skills needed to implement Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure: fabric discovery and the object model, packet forwarding, external connectivity and L3Out, VMM integration and service graphs, management, and Multi-Pod and Multi-Site.

The camp follows the exam outline Cisco publishes for this certification, with hands-on labs on real and virtual Cisco gear throughout. DCACI is a CCNP Data Center concentration exam. In 2025 Cisco folded the retired DCACIA advanced ACI content into it.
