EMCDCA Certification
Hi Proven,
I'm planning the EMCDCA's exam for February 2013, but I'm seeing that it will retire on March 31 2013. Anyone know if after the date, still exists the the EMCDcA Certification Path or it will replaced by other path ?
Thanks
Loris

The EMCDCA track is undergoing some changes. While the E20-016 and E20-017 exams are being retired, the certifications associated with those exams (Data Center Architect (EMCDCA), Storage Networking Design Specialist & Data Center Architect (EMCDCA), Information Availability Design Specialist) will not expire.
If you have been studying for either the E20-016 or E20-017 exam, you will want to be sure to schedule your exam prior to 3/31/13.
Check the “News and Updates” link on our education.emc.com portal for upcoming announcements regarding this track and other changes/updates to the Proven Professional program.

Dear Kate,
many thanks for you reply.
I'm not native English speaker, but "retired" and "replaced" has different meanings, so I think that this statement:
"Important Program Update: Data Center Architect (EMCDCA) Specialist Exam Retirements
On March 31, 2013, the EMC Proven Professional Program will retire the following ‘open’ curriculum based Data Center Architect (EMCDCA) Specialist-level exams: "
means that after MArch 31, 2013 you are not able to sit for any EMCDcA's exams.
Are you agree ?
Best Regards
Loris

Hello everyone!
I have a question. I have alredy EMCISA and I would like to get EMCDCA (for partnership requirements).
Do I need to pass only E20-026 Enterprise Storage Networking Design and after that I get EMCDCA?
Or maybe I must pass both, E20-026 Enterprise Storage Networking Design and E20-027 Enterprise Backup Recovery Design to get EMCDCA?

Hi Marcel, there are 2 EMC Proven Professional certifications under the EMCDCA track.
The Data Center Architect, Enterprise Backup Recovery Specialist Version 2.0 is earned by passing the E20-027 exam and holding a qualifying associate credential.
The Data Center Architect, Enterprise Storage Networking Specialist Version 2.0 credential is earned by passing the E20-026 exam and holding a qualifying associate credential.
Your EMCISA is a qualifying associate credential for these 2 certifications.
Good luck!

Hi Debi, thank you for explanation.
To be shure. If for EMEA coutries, Silver Partnership formal requirements is 1 resource for Technology Architect / Data Center Architect Specialist, and now I have EMCISA and I will pass E20-026 exam, that result will be Data Center Architect, Enterprise Storage Networking Specialist and I will meet the requirement for the formal requirements?

You're welcome Marcel. I can't validate partner requirements or speak to that, but holding EMCISA and passing the E20-026 will earn you the credential of Data Center Architect, Enterprise Storage Networking Specialist Version 2.0 (EMCDCA).
