Overview 

This hands on workshop provides delegates with advanced skills in designing Cisco Storage Networks. Delegates will learn about the key features of the MDS 9000 platform, and how to leverage these features to build highly available, extensible, intelligent SANS.

DCSNS includes hands-on labs to familiarize students with basic MDS 9000 configuration procedures, and design workshops where students will learn to design multi-protocol enterprise SANs and SAN extension solutions.

This course replaces the CSMNF and CSDE courses.


Pre-Requisites

Delegates are required to meet the following prerequisites:

  • Basic understanding of data storage hardware components and protocols, including SCSI and Fibre Channel.
