HPE Network Data Center Professional
About the Certification
This is a professional-level certification from HPE – Hewlett Packard Enterprise within the HPE & Aruba Data Center Networking track. It targets engineers responsible for operating and managing data center networks, focusing on Aruba CX Switching–based data center environments. The certification emphasizes designing and implementing Spine-Leaf architectures, configuring Layer 2 and Layer 3 services, supporting EVPN-VXLAN, and applying network security and segmentation principles. It also covers the integration of networking with compute and storage systems inside the data center. The goal is to build strong hands-on operational knowledge of Aruba CX in data center environments, including Spine-Leaf architecture deployment, L2/L3 service operations, EVPN-VXLAN enablement in virtualized environments, support for cloud and virtualized workloads, and applying security and segmentation best practices. This makes it a solid Professional-level certification for data center engineers before progressing to Architect or Expert levels.
