Cisco CSDE Training Storage Design Essentials
 Description
Most enterprises today are interested in taking advantage of the latest in Storage Area
Networking technologies. Unfortunately, these companies typically lack the staff in house to adequately plan and design these complex network infrastructures. This expert-led course
corrects this deficiency by providing students with relevant practice in determining business requirements for a SAN solution, identifying the technical issues to be solved, developing
options, and designing a viable, cost-effective SAN solution leveraging the MDS 9000 product family and related technologies. This course is the most detailed and in-depth of its kind,
permitting students to master skills that will allow them to design SAN solutions that directly address the business needs of a diverse client group.
Objectives
Upon completion of the Cisco ® Storage Network Design Essentials (CSDE) course, the student will be able to:
-
Given access to customer environments, documentation, and personnel, assess user requirements for SAN reliability, availability, performance, security, and scalability, so that the assessment can be used as the basis for a storage
networking solution
- Given a set of storage networking requirements, design a multiprotocol SAN fabric configuration using Cisco ® storage
networking platforms, so that the configuration provides the required levels of high availability, performance, security, and cost-effectiveness
- Given a set of storage networking requirements and access to an optical networking specialist, design a remote SAN
connectivity solution, so that the configuration provides the required levels of high availability, performance, and cost-effectiveness
- Given a set of storage networking requirements, design a management infrastructure for Cisco ® storage networking
platforms, so that the management infrastructure provides the appropriate levels of availability and security, and integrates with the customers in-house management systems
