SNIA Partners With FMJO

The Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) has partnered with FMJO, LLC to bring the SNIA Storage Network Foundations courseware to a worldwide audience via a new electronic offering.

This e-Course provides students with the same content as the instructor-led four-day SNIA Storage Networking Foundations Course. The e-Course is a compendium of 18 separate learning modules. Content has been developed using ten years of vendor-neutral storage expertise and is the only SNIA-authorized e-learning material available to prepare for the SNIA Storage Network Foundations Exam (S10-101).

"I spent a large number of hours over an extended weekend going through the e-Course," said Barry J. Gillin, Systems Analyst Engineer and SNIA Certified Storage Professional for Oregon Health & Science University. "I have to give credit to the author(s) for the clear and concise job they did with the material. This e-Course was invaluable to me in studying for the SNIA certification exam."

IT and storage professionals will come away with the technical skills needed to implement and manage storage network solutions.

Wayne M. Adams, Chair of the SNIA added: "Industry education and certification have been integral to the SNIA mission since our inception. In today’s workplace and global economy, the importance and role of data storage and information management are top of mind. As such, every corner of the globe has a datacenter with IT storage professionals desiring training and certification whenever they need it at an attractive price. The availability of the SNIA e-Course over the Internet will meet anyone’s immediate need to be trained anywhere, while satisfying the learning objectives for data center professionals, system integrators, solution consultants and managed service providers with equipment from multiple vendors."

Ed Frymoyer, Managing Director, FMJO, LLC, added:" The online e-Course is ideal for candidates who have IT experience, but are not necessarily storage specialists. We are excited that this partnership will bring this e-Course to storage and IT specialists worldwide as it provides an opportunity to gain an understanding of storage networking concepts, components, technologies, tools and tasks such as backup, recovery and continuance."

The e-Course is available immediately and costs $525.00 U.S.D. Upon proof of purchase, a 25% off coupon for the SNIA Storage Network Certification Exam will be available to the student to encourage them to secure an official SNIA Certification.
