Please Help with Cisco Data Center Network Infrastructure 1 (DCNI) training in MD

Hi guys,
sorry for posting this here, i don't know where else to post it. I need help in locating a good training center/institute where Implementing Cisco Data Center Network Infrastructure 1(DCNI-1) training/bootcamp is offered. I have searched everywhere and seems to find only DCUFI v4.0 - Implementing Cisco Data Center Unified Fabric. I am a data center tech with my company and i have been told to select a training course that will help me understand better the networks. I will soon be a CCNP in 8days time and i know much about routing & switching but i have not laid my hands on the Cat6k families which the course will really deal with based on the course objectives on cisco website. There is a new construction of a data center where aggregation and core switches will be the cat6k family and i will be the one supporting it hence, the need for this training and training institute. Someone please refer me to a good center for this course.
NOC-ninja,Bl8ckrouter and other TE veterans, please bail me out.
Thanks

i tried but i got this message

"The Partner Education Connection (PEC) is available to all individuals who are associated with Cisco Registered or Certified Partner companies. Our records indicate that you are not associated to a partner company, or if you are associated to your company, do not have the appropriate access level. You may associate yourself with a partner company, register your company, or request an upgrade of your access level using Partner Self Service."

I have been searching since and still searching till i find. Most of the training center i saw are not offering bootcamp for DCNI-1 they are only offering the new network support specialist series.

No we are not. Just a govt health organization

Have you tried Global Knowledge? We use them in our IC (also in gov health care) and one of my team mates recently took the class your asking about.

Cisco DCUFI Implementing Cisco Data Center Unified Fabric v4.0 formerly DCNX5+7 at Global Knowledge

Hopefully that helps.

Cisco is pushing the Nexus 5000/7000 family as their preferred data center switch while trying to move away from using the 6500 for data center switching. However, the 6500 is still being used as your campus core switch in most models. So the old DCNI-1 class focused on 6500. Firefly (Firefly - Demystify Technology) has a very good reputation for data center related networking training including UCS, but most training vendors now are focusing on the Nexus class instead of the 6500 one.
