With the rapid development of innovative technologies such as Cloud Computing, Big Data and IoT technology, they bring the convenience but security risk as well. A variety of new viruses, invasion and APT (Advanced Persistent Threats) attacks increased while the degree of attention to network security, application security and terminal security has increased year by year, but there is still a shortage of talent with ICT security knowledge.

The data center is the core of the Internet. The cloud data center is the basis of the next-generation Internet. The application of new technologies in the cloud data center makes the traditional network and IT technology boundaries become more and more blurred. The requirements for the planning, design, deployment, and O&M management of cloud data centers are converging. The single-domain skills of traditional vocational certification are increasingly restricted in the position of cloud data center scenarios. Huawei Data Center series professional certification integrates knowledge about data centers in the network and IT fields and is based on the cloud data center architecture. Focus on the cutting-edge data center ICT technologies in the industry, cultivate talents with network and IT convergence capabilities, and help you improve your skills in the "Internet +" era and gain a broader career development prospect.

Huawei Data Center professional certification is based on data center scenarios and is Huawei's first integrated career certification across traditional knowledge domains. HCNA-Data Center is positioned as a cloud data center deployment and O&M engineer. It mainly describes the basic knowledge about data centers, cloud data center technologies, and software and hardware functions related to Huawei data centers. It is applicable to college students, data center beginners, and traditional data center engineers who want to learn cloud data center technologies. With years of experience in advanced training in the ICT industry, Huawei will provide trainees with competitive training guidance.
