First in the industry, the Storage Technologist track is suitable for experienced storage professionals knowledgeable in specific segments who may not have exposure to all of the other segments of modern storage infrastructure, experienced IT professionals taking on the responsibility to manage storage infrastructure, students and IT professionals who want to build their career in the storage industry, organization-wide IT teams who are directly or indirectly responsible for planning, designing, deploying, managing or leveraging information infrastructure, and individuals who are seeking EMC Proven™ Professional Storage Technologist Associate (EMCPA) level certification. 

EMCST is based on a unique “open” curriculum that focuses on storage technology concepts, principles, design, management, and integration; rather than any specific products.

Storage Technology Foundations (STF) is the only course of its kind to fill the knowledge gap in understanding varied components of modern storage infrastructure. It is the first course in the Storage Technologist Track (EMCST) and provides a comprehensive introduction to storage technology which will enable you to make more informed decisions in an increasingly complex IT environment. It builds a strong understanding of underlying storage technologies and prepares you to learn advanced concepts, technologies and products. You will learn about the architectures, features, and benefits of Intelligent Storage Systems; networked storage technologies such as FC-SAN, NAS, and IP-SAN; long-term archiving solutions such as Content Addressed Storage (CAS); the increasingly critical area of information security and the emerging field of storage virtualization technologies. This unique, open course focuses on concepts & principles of storage technology, rather than on specific products.
