CCDP Cisco Certified Design Professional Certification

Overview

The CCDP builds advanced knowledge of the network design concepts and principles required to develop multi-layer enterprise architectures and network components. Enterprise environments require networks designed for performance, availability and scalability to achieve outcomes. Seasoned IT professionals with progressive end-to-end network design expertise are crucial to ensure networks deliver to today’s requirements while future proofing investments. For Senior Network Design Engineers, Principle System Engineer, Network/Solution Architects and CCDA professionals looking to build upon your fundamental Cisco network design expertise the Cisco CCDP certification program focuses on advanced addressing and routing protocols, WANs, services virtualization, and integration strategies for multi-layered Enterprise architectures.
