What they say….

Multiple CCIE Daniel Roman says on the added value

of SAN CCIE in his job:

As a Data Center CSE my customers expect me to understand

Networking CCIE has taught me all about Fibre Channel SANs and prepared me for the upcoming FCoE evolution being led by Cisco SAN CCIE made me the Fibre Channel networking expert

that I need to be in my current role as Data Center CSE.

12

Trang 13

And on the added value to his future role in DC:

Poorly engineered SANs can be more of a problem than poorly engineered IP fabrics Also, Fibre Channel is almost unchanged

in the new Fibre Channel over Ethernet protocol; understanding Fibre Channel is critical to building a robust FCoE network

Understanding Ethernet will be important also, but the payload of FCoE is Fibre Channel, not IP Being a Storage CCIE puts me far ahead of our competition for FCoE sales It is an investment

Lab Preparation: Assessing

Your Strengths

Evaluate your experience and knowledge in the

major topic areas listed on blueprint

For areas of strength: practice for speed and

time managementg

For weaker areas: boost knowledge with training

or book study first, then practice

Speed is vital on the exam; review and practice core

materials (VSAN, zoning, trunking, FM, IVR, IP

services) a week before exam)
