The NCP-MCI v6.5 certification evaluates the technical proficiency of cloud architects and infrastructure engineers in managing Nutanix enterprise cloud environments. Candidates must demonstrate expertise in configuring AHV clusters, Prism Element, and Prism Central while managing storage containers, vDisks, and data protection via snapshots and remote replication. The assessment covers network virtualization through Flow Virtual Networking, micro-segmentation, and IP address management. Furthermore, practitioners must utilize Prism for resource provisioning, alert monitoring, and performance troubleshooting. Mastery of cluster expansion, software upgrades, and lifecycle management within the Prism interface remains essential for executing scalable, hyperconverged infrastructure operations across distributed, multicloud deployment models.
