Storage Networking Design and Management Training Seminar

Storage Networking Design and Management is the first of the two courses in the Storage Technologist track (EMCST) at the specialist level. This course builds on the technology concepts and principles learned in Storage Technology Foundations (1765) (prerequisite) and challenges participants to apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios. The course teaches a process oriented approach in designing, deploying and managing Storage Networking solutions. Lectures and work-shop style case studies provide a thorough exposure to Storage Networking requirements analysis, business value justification, and design considerations for technology and performance in the implementation and management of Storage Networking solutions. Certification: This course includes a practice test and has an associated Storage Technology Specialist exam.
