FAQs

Is Juniper JNCIP-DC: Data Center Professional worth it?

Yes, the JNCIP-DC: Data Center Professional is worth it, but only for certain data center professionals. Juniper’s Junos operating system is a unique tool for managing data center networks that’s very different from its competitors and alternatives.

The JNCIP-DC: Data Center Professional costs $400. All of Juniper’s professional-level certifications (the JNCIP series) cost $400. But even though the JNCIP-DC costs $400, that isn’t the total cost of earning the cert.

What our learners say

Having access to on-demand labs that I could spin up instantly was very helpful. I didn’t have to have a home environment with a bunch of virtual machines spun up. Or worry about destroying things.

When learning a new technology, people sometimes build a wall that complicates the learning process because of the unknown. I like tearing down that wall — and having people fall in love with that technology.
