Introducing the Industry’s First 8 Gbit/Sec SAN Certification

Brocade Education is proud to announce the industry's first 8 Gb certification program: Brocade Certified Fabric Professional (BCFP) 8 Gb! The new 8 Gb BCFP Certification exam is designed to test your knowledge of and proficiency in implementing, configuring, administering, and troubleshooting the 8 Gb Brocade family of products. To help you prepare for this new certification exam, Brocade also offers these two classes: CFP 270 - Brocade 8 Gbit/sec Introduction to Administration and Theory and CFP 271 - Brocade 8 Gbit/sec Advanced Theory and Administration course. The CFP 270 course is for people who are trying to get basic switch administration information, and/or get certified. It is the first of two courses needed to help you get certified. The CFP 271 course is the second course in the series, and will complete the skill set required to help you become a BCFP, once you pass the exam. If you are BCFP certified on 4 Gb already, you should take the CFP 271 course only. These new courses are now open for registration.
