Storage Networking Design course covers a range of storage networking technologies, processes, and best practices for planning, architecting, and deploying storage networking solutions—including within a virtualized environment. This course builds on the technology concepts and principles learned in the Information Storage and Management (ISM) course (prerequisite) and enables participants to apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios. Lectures and workshop style case studies provide a thorough exposure to Storage Networking requirement analysis, business value justification, and technology design considerations. It also provides an overview on processes and practices for Storage Networking project implementation and testing.
This course is intended for:
Experienced IT professionals who are responsible for architecting information
infrastructure solutions
IT professionals who have foundational knowledge on storage technologies and
want to build their career in the storage industry. Individuals who are seeking the
EMC Proven™ Professional Data Center Architect (EMCDCA) Storage Networking
Design Specialist Certification.
Upon successful completion of this course, participants should be able to:
Understand the requirements, and business value justification of a Storage Networking solution
