Cisco Storage Sales Specialist

The Cisco Storage Sales Specialist exam validates an account manager's knowledge of the key market drivers for SAN consolidation. It also validates that the candidate is able to identify and communicate the MDS product features that differentiate the MDS product family with respect to these market drivers.

Vid bokning av ett Cisco test ska du uppge ditt Cisco ID om du skrivit Cisco tester tidigare. Detta ID står på ditt testresultat.

Innan du bokar ditt test ska du gå in på http://www.cisco.com/web/learning/le3/le11/learning_certification_exam_policies.html

och läsa igenom ett Certification Agreement, meddela vid bokning av testet att du har läst igenom och accepterar det.

Du ska också uppge följande:

1. Vad heter företaget du jobbar åt?
2. Arbetar du för en Cisco Partner eller Reseller?
3. Har du skrivit Cisco tester tidigare?
4. Är du Cisco anställd?
5. Om du är Cisco anställd, uppge ditt anställningsnummer.

Innan testet startar måste du fylla i ett Nondisclosure agreement (NDA). Ett NDA är en överenskommelse att testtagaren ska hålla testinnehållet konfidentiellt.
Om du inte samtycker med NDA kommer du inte att få skriva testet.

Vid omtagning av icke klarat test måste du vänta i 72 timmar innan du får försöka igen.
