Course Description
This fast paced course will give the students a sound foundation in
Storage Networking Technology and will prepare the student to take the SNIA
Storage Network Foundations Certification exam. The term foundation should
not be confused with "basic" as this course teaches students leading edge
SAN technologies.
This course has been carefully constructed to certify that a successful
candidate has an overall knowledge and technical skills to work as a team
member to implement storage network solutions. This involves understanding
of storage networking concepts, ability to explain and recognize key storage
networking components and technologies, familiarity with cross-industry,
standard configuration tools, ability to do simple storage network backups,
recoveries and business continuance.
