Exam Details

HCIE-DC (Huawei Certified Internetwork Expert-Data Center) is an ICT convergence certification, which validates the expert-level knowledge and skills required to plan, design, operate and maintain large and medium-sized cloud data centers.

Exam Content

The HCIE-DC exam covers data center overview, networks (including the traditional data communication network, SDN, and Fiber Channel SAN), storage devices, servers, cloud computing, DR&backup, unified management and Huawei data center solutions. The exam is designed to assess the examinees’ capabilities on planning and design, deployment and implementation, and O&M management of data centers. It includes three tests: written test, lab test and interview. The following describes the key points of these tests.
