For professionals who require an accelerated learning path that includes both conceptual knowledge of Fibre Channel SAN technologies and hands-on experience in heterogeneous SAN environments.

SAN Bootcamp is an accelerated course that provides comprehensive vendor neutral exposure to SAN solutions and supporting technologies, such as Fibre Channel, iSCSI and IP Storage. Participants learn about protocols, standards, management practices and tools, and SAN design and implementation considerations.

Class discussions cover a wide range of topics, including the capabilities and limitations of the various supporting technologies and SAN management in enterprise environments, while a hands-on-lab element allows students to apply their knowledge of the Fibre Channel protocol; gain experience with component installation and configuration; build a simple SAN fabric and explore SAN management applications.

SNIA Storage Networking Certification Program (SNCP)
This accelerated learning path has not been developed in direct support of the SNIA certification program exams. It does cover the majority of the topics required to pass the Foundation and Management/Administration exams currently offered, but some self study or experience will be required to complete the subject matter tested.
Additional areas include, but are not limited to, SAS Routing, Database Management & Configuration, Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Scenarios.
