Thanks for the link.
I guess I should have asked, Does anyone have any personal experience on SNIA certification?

Not yet, but I am looking into doing it after my CCNA. Would be good to hear any thoughts or comments from others who have done it.

I'm looking at possibly doing the SNIA SCSP Foundations Exam in 2009. Not a lot of action here about that exam. Anyone have any experiences with this?

I need this cert too ! i downloaded many pdfs from SNIA website, but I need some organized study material !

This seems to be the latest storage fundamentals from Cisco. The reviews say it's vendor-neutral.

Many storage gurus recommend this book:

I have it but never read it, but I don't think it's enough to pass SNIA exam(s).

Hi guys

I have completed SCSN-E certification just two months ago. What exactly you would like to know about the certification?

I got this book from Brocade sales person:

http://www.bbotw.com/Product.aspx?ISBN=0-7414-2824-5

In my opinion it is very good book but I think that book is not enough for passing the certification.
Please note that book is from Brocade point of view

well congratulations !!


I really want to know what's the official material for this course !! I tried to find one full book that covers all the material, but didn't find anything.

Also, I need good practice material.

any recommendation ? did you pass the exam using Brocade book only ?

Storage is on my shopping list for late next year. There was quite a lot of storage with NetApp going on in my last contract. How much storage work do you get into, do you you work for a Cisco Partner?

Hi

IMO there is no official material for any SNIA certs.
I have read the Brocade book and it covers lot of the topics.

I looked into this book TOC and it looks like it covers several topics also...

There is a list of books at the end of these pdfs that would do the job...

For those interested in pursuing the S10-101 there is now some official course material available here:

S10-101 course material

It's definitely something I'm going to be looking into further.

It looks like this test is just taken over the internet, or I read that in the description.
