| Course description |
DCSNS is a 3-day interactive workshop that teaches you how to apply the unique features of the Cisco MDS 9000 platform to Data Center SAN designs.
You will learn about the key features of the MDS 9000 platform, and how to leverage these features to build highly available, extensible, intelligent SANs.
This course focuses on interactive design workshops where you will learn to design multiprotocol SANs and SAN extension solutions.
|
| Learning objectives |
After you complete this course, you will be able to:
- Identify host and storage connectivity and performance requirements
- Design a SAN topology that optimizes fan-in and fan-out, oversubscription, port usage, and redundancy
- Simplify device management with FCID assignment and DDAS
- Explain the options for interoperating with Brocade and McDATA fabrics
- Discuss how key MDS 9000 technologies enable and simplify SAN consolidation
- Explain how to segregate, load-balance, and prioritize application data flows to improve performance
- Design an MDS 9000 iSCSI configuration for mid-range application hosts
- Describe common SAN security vulnerabilities and mitigation techniques
- Discuss key concepts in disaster recovery and business continuity planning
- Design SAN extension solutions using FCIP, WDM, and TDM networks
- Design SAN extension solutions to meet application reliability and performance requirements
|
| Who should attend |
This course provides in-depth design training for pre-sales engineers, system engineers, and network engineers who need to design SAN fabrics using MDS 9000 switches.
|
| Recommended prerequisites |
- This course is designed for students who have already taken the 2-day Cisco Storage Design Fundamentals (CSDF) course. You should be familiar with the MDS 9000 platform and its key features before you take this course.
- If you have not taken CSDF, you should take the 5-day Designing Cisco Storage Networking Solutions (DCSNS) instead. DCSNS includes all of the content in both CSDF and DCSD.
