Course Overview
The Dell EMC Enterprise Storage Networking Design course is a specialized training program designed for IT professionals aiming to master the architecture and deployment of scalable storage networks in modern data centers. This course prepares candidates for the Dell Networking Design (DNDNS-200) exam, aligning with the Dell EMC Certified Professional – Networking certification track. It is ideal for network architects, storage engineers, and solutions consultants responsible for designing enterprise-grade storage infrastructures. With Dell Technologies holding a significant share of the global data center infrastructure market, organizations increasingly seek certified professionals who can design resilient, high-performance storage networks—making this credential highly valuable in environments leveraging Dell EMC hardware.
Participants engage with key technologies including Dell PowerSwitch OS10, Enterprise SONiC Distribution by Dell Technologies, SmartFabric Services, CloudIQ, VxRail, and the Fabric Design Center (FDC). The hands-on lab environment, delivered through GNS3 virtual platforms, enables learners to build and configure real-world storage networking topologies such as leaf-spine fabrics using VXLANs, BGP EVPN, and FCoE. Students complete a comprehensive project involving end-to-end design and validation of a converged storage network, incorporating L2/L3 planning, security policies, replication strategies, and automation via FastScript tools. These labs simulate actual deployment scenarios on Dell EMC PowerSwitch S5248F-ON devices, providing practical experience in configuring port channels, VLAN translation, QoS policies, and out-of-band management—all critical components of enterprise storage networking design.
Achieving the Dell EMC Certified Professional – Networking designation validates expertise recognized across industries deploying Dell infrastructure. Certified professionals report average annual salaries ranging from $95,000 to over $160,000, with roles like Network Architect and Storage Solutions Engineer seeing strong demand globally.
