Data Center Storage Design
Data Center Storage Design explores the key storage technologies and architectural considerations that data center network designers must understand when building scalable and reliable infrastructures. It introduces foundational storage protocols such as iSCSI, Fibre Channel, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), and FCIP, along with important design aspects like storage high availability and quality of service (QoS) for storage traffic. The course explains how each of these technologies influences performance, resilience, and traffic handling within a data center environment. It also connects these concepts to real-world design decisions aligned with the Cisco DCID exam blueprint, emphasizing how storage design choices directly impact overall data center architecture and service reliability. This course helps engineers understand the relationship between storage connectivity strategies and the operational requirements of modern, high-performance data center networks.
