Overview
This exam is a qualifying exam for the Associate – Information Storage and Management (DCA-ISM) certification.
This exam focuses on information storage and management in a modern data center environment. It includes technologies driving digital transformation, intelligent storage systems, software-defined data center, storage networking technologies, and various business continuity options – along with security and management of a storage infrastructure. A limited number of questions refer to product examples that are used in the training to reinforce the knowledge of technologies and concepts.
Dell Technologies provides free practice tests to assess your knowledge in preparation for the exam. Practice tests allow you to become familiar with the topics and question types you will find on the proctored exam. Your results on a practice test offer one indication of how prepared you are for the proctored exam and can highlight topics on which you need to study and train further. A passing score on the practice test does not guarantee a passing score on the certification exam.
