Course Description
The Enterprise Storage Networking Design (ESND) course educates participants about considerations and practices to design storage networking solution for classic and virtualized data center environments. The course also focuses on design practices for storage, compute, and replication solutions. It takes an ‘open’ approach focusing on technologies, concepts and practices rather than specific products. To provide context, the course utilizes best-of-breed EMC product examples and case studies. Upon completing this course, participants will have the knowledge to design more robust and efficient storage networking infrastructure for their organization, customers, and partners.
Audience
This course is intended for architects and consultants with experience in enterprise storage and networking domains. This course and its corresponding certification is designed to meet the needs of organizations and professionals who are involved in planning, architecting, and deploying storage networking solutions in both physical and virtual environments.
