Solutions v4.0
Course Code: DCSNS 642-357Duration: 5 Days
Course Overview
The Designing Cisco Storage Networking Solutions v4.0 (DCSNS) training course has been designed to provide candidates with advanced skills in designing Cisco Storage Networks. Candidates will be taught about the key features of the MDS 9000 platform as well as how to leverage these features to build highly available, extensible and intelligent SANS. DCSNS includes hands-on practical labs to familiarise students with basic MDS 9000 configuration procedures and design workshops where students will learn how to design multi-protocol enterprise SANs and SAN extension solutions. This course replaces the CSMNF and CSDE courses.Target Audience
Candidates who should consider attending the DCSNS 642-357 Cisco training course include System Engineers, Channel Partners and customers who need to design a SANS and incorporate the MDS 9000 family of products.Course Objectives
On successfully completing the DCSNS 642-357 course candidates will be able to:- Identify the components, services, and features of the MDS 9000 platform that can be used to improve the availability, scalability, performance, and manageability of the SAN
- Design a multiprotocol SAN to meet a variety of customer requirements
- Design a SAN that enables storage consolidation
- Design a SAN security implementation that includes port and fabric security, secure management protocols, and role-based access control to meet security policy requirements
- Design a SAN extension solution that meets application availability, performance, and scalability requirements
