EXAM CODE: DEA-1TT5
EXAM NAME: Associate - Information Storage and Management V5
This certification validates the learner’s comprehensive understanding of various
storage infrastructure components in modern data center environments. It tests
the learner’s knowledge of storage-related technologies in an increasingly
complex IT environment, which is fast changing with the adoption of new
technologies in a digital transformation era (Cloud, Edge computing, Big Data,
IoT, ML/AI, and 5G). It provides a strong understanding of storage-related
technologies such as storage networking technologies (FC SAN, IP SAN, and
NVMe over Fabric), intelligent storage systems (block, file, and object), data
protection (backup, archive, and replication), and storage infrastructure security
and management.
