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.
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.
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.
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).
Question is for people who already passed E20-026 exam. What material do you use to prepare for this exam? Unfortunatly I dont have access to officail traing. What books or maybe some free material do You use?

Dear Kate,
many thanks for you reply.

Are you agree ?

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?
Regards
