| Cisco has responded to the challenge in the internetworking technology with the Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) Program. This is currently the most significant certification in the industry.
|
|
|
| The Fast Lane CCIE Written Boot Camp does not include the actual exam, but provides delegates with the necessary theory to prepare for the two-hour, multiple choice test. It will include storage networking concepts covered in the exam, such as:
|
|
|
 |
storage device protocols
|
|
troubleshooting tools
|
|
storage networking design
|
|
applications
|
|
advanced management.
|
|
|
|
|
| Delegates should be prepared to work beyond the usual classroom hours in order to prepare for the written exam.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| After passing the written exam, delegates can then proceed to the CCIE Storage Lab Boot Camp which will prepare them for the practical lab exam. |
| The CCIE Storage certifies expert-level knowledge of intelligent storage solutions using multiple transport options over long distances. This 4 day course will prepare delegates for the two hour written CCIE exam.
