Demonstrate knowledge of storage network concepts, basic components of storage networks, storage protocols, and disaster recovery — the SNIA Professional credential for IT engineers validating practical storage networking competency.
The S10-110 exam earns the SNIA Certified Storage Professional (SCSP) credential — the Professional level on the SNIA certification path. It validates that candidates have a solid understanding of storage network concepts, the core components of storage networks including host elements, storage protocols, and hardware, and the ability to work effectively in enterprise storage environments with a focus on disaster recovery and business continuance.
The exam covers four domains: host connectivity and virtualisation concepts, storage protocol components (NAS, FC SAN, Ethernet/IP SAN), storage hardware (Flash, RAID, disk technologies, DAS), and disaster recovery (backup, data reduction, cloud storage, storage management). Prerequisite: S10-101 SNTF.
Identify host connectivity components in a support matrix and describe host-based storage functions including storage mapping, virtualisation concepts, and performance improvement for host applications
Identify NAS, Fibre Channel SAN, and Ethernet/IP SAN components; describe DCBX switching technology and the software storage model for enterprise storage network deployments
Identify host-to-SAN components, Flash technologies for application performance, RAID levels, disk technologies, and DAS — covering the full hardware stack in enterprise storage environments
Identify backup technologies and types, describe disaster recovery concepts, storage security methods, storage management technologies, data reduction techniques, and cloud storage methods and types
IT professionals who have completed S10-101 (SNTF) and want to progress to the Professional level by validating deeper knowledge of storage protocols, host connectivity, hardware, and disaster recovery
Storage administrators and data centre engineers who work hands-on with NAS, SAN, and DAS environments and want a Professional-level SNIA credential to validate their technical storage competency
Pre-sales and technical consultants who support enterprise storage customers and need a recognised Professional certification to demonstrate storage protocol and hardware expertise
IT professionals building toward SNMA (S10-201) or SCSE (S10-210) who need the SCSP as the prerequisite stepping stone on the full SNIA certification ladder
