Course Overview
The Dell EMC Connectrix SAN Administration: Brocade B-Series (ESSTGS08343) course is designed for IT professionals responsible for managing Storage Area Networks (SANs) within Dell Technologies environments. This two-day intensive program prepares learners for roles such as SAN Administrator, Storage Engineer, and Network Operations Specialist, equipping them with the skills to configure and manage Brocade B-Series switches in multi-switch fabrics. With over 70% of enterprise data centers relying on Fibre Channel SANs for mission-critical storage, expertise in Dell EMC Connectrix solutions remains in high demand across industries. The course covers essential topics including fabric design, zoning, switch configuration, and virtualization features like VSANs, NPIV, and Access Gateway, ensuring administrators can effectively enable communication between hosts and storage systems.
Participants gain hands-on experience using industry-standard tools such as Brocade Network Advisor, Command Line Interface (CLI), and WebTools for B-Series switch management. Through collaborative lab sessions conducted in a virtual classroom environment, students configure real-world SAN topologies, including building and merging Fibre Channel fabrics, implementing zoning policies, and deploying Virtual Fabrics. A key lab scenario involves setting up a secure, scalable SAN infrastructure that supports N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV) and NPV mode, simulating enterprise-level deployment challenges. These practical exercises reinforce core competencies in switch maintenance, fabric stability, and basic troubleshooting, ensuring that learners can apply their knowledge directly in production environments using Dell EMC’s official Connectrix B-Series platform.
While this course does not map to a specific Dell Proven Professional certification exam, it builds foundational skills recognized across enterprise storage certifications and validates expertise in one of the most widely deployed SAN switch families. Professionals with Brocade B-Series administration skills command average salaries of $95,000–$120,000 in North America, reflecting strong market value. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning path with Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling, official Dell EMC courseware, and optional 1-on-1 training to ensure mastery. Upon completion, learners are positioned to advance into senior storage architecture or cloud infrastructure roles, driving efficiency and resilience in modern data center operations.
