Cisco Data Center Storage

О курсе

As organizations increasingly rely on scalable and flexible storage solutions, this course empowers learners to explore the essentials of modern data center storage connectivity. This course provides a comprehensive comparison of Fibre Channel and IP-based networking, highlighting the convergence of storage with Ethernet and IP networks to enhance manageability, interoperability, and cost-effectiveness. Learners will explore Cisco MDS switches, including the 9700, 9200, 9300, and 9100 Series, and gain hands-on knowledge of Fibre Channel zoning, NPV/NPIV modes, and the FLOGI process. What makes this course unique is its focus on the integration of Fibre Channel with Ethernet through Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) protocols, enabling efficient I/O consolidation and reliable communication. The course also covers advanced features such as flow control, fabric login mechanisms, and the configuration of Cisco Nexus 9000 Series switches for Fibre Channel SAN switching. By understanding these technologies, learners will be equipped to design, deploy, and manage high-performance, scalable storage networks that support both traditional SAN and converged IP storage environments.Completing this course prepares learners to optimize storage infrastructure, improve data center flexibility, and support evolving storage demands with Cisco’s industry-leading storage networking solutions.
