Course Description
This course will give you the knowledge needed to manage and administer a
SAN using Fibre Channel technology.
This course will cover Fibre Channel specific topics for the day to day
management of a storage networking environment and data center. This course
will not cover basic concepts and technologies or detailed developer
topics.
This course focuses on the objectives defined for the SNIA Storage
Networking Management/Administration exam (S10-200). This exam has been
carefully constructed to certify that the successful candidate has the
knowledge necessary to fulfill their responsibilities as a FC Storage
Administrator. The exam objectives were derived from a SNIA sanctioned Job
Task Analysis. The JTA was structured to determine the skills needed by a
Storage Administrator.
This course will prepare you to take the SNIA Storage Networking
Management/Administration (S10-200).
