In the heart of Türkiye’s financial ecosystem, where milliseconds matter and security is paramount, Türkiye Cumhuriyet Merkez Bankası (TCMB)—the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye—is taking a decisive step toward fortifying its critical infrastructure. By enrolling its IT teams in the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) Data Center certification program, TCMB is ensuring its data center operations meet the highest standards of resilience, security, and efficiency. This initiative underscores the bank’s commitment to safeguarding Türkiye’s financial stability in an increasingly digital economy.

What is CCNA Data Center Certification?

The CCNA Data Center certification validates expertise in designing, managing, and troubleshooting modern data center infrastructure. Key focus areas include:

• Cisco Nexus Switching: High-performance networking for low-latency financial transactions.
• Unified Computing System (UCS): Integrating compute, storage, and virtualization resources.
• Data Center Security: Implementing firewalls, encryption, and access controls for sensitive financial data.
• Automation and Orchestration: Streamlining operations with tools like Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI).

For TCMB, which processes vast volumes of real-time economic data and oversees monetary policy, these skills are vital to maintaining uninterrupted, secure operations.
