RCSP Study Guide

Preface

This Riverbed Certification Study Guide is intended for anyone who wants to become certified in

the Riverbed Steelhead products and Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS). The Riverbed

Certified Solutions Professional (RCSP) program is designed to validate the skills required of

technical professionals who work in the implementation of Riverbed products.

This study guide provides a combination of theory and practical experience needed for a general

understanding of the subject matter. It also provides sample questions that will help in the

evaluation of personal progress and provide familiarity with the types of questions that will be

encountered in the exam.

This publication does not replace practical experience, nor is it designed to be a stand-alone

guide for any subject. Instead, it is an effective tool that, when combined with education

activities and experience, can be a very useful preparation guide for the exam.

Certification Overview

The Riverbed Certified Solutions Professional certificate is granted to individuals who

demonstrate advanced knowledge and experience with the RiOS product suite. The typical RCSP

will have taken a Riverbed approved training class such as the Steelhead Appliance Deployment

& Management course in addition to having hands-on experience in performing deployment,

troubleshooting, and maintenance of RiOS products in small, medium, and large organizations.

While there are no set requirements prior to taking the exam, candidates who have taken a

Riverbed authorized training class and have at least six months of hands-on experience with

RiOS products have a significantly higher chance of receiving the certification. We would like to

emphasize that solely taking the class will not adequately prepare you for the exam.

To obtain the RCSP certification, you are required to pass a computerized exam available at any

Pearson VUE testing center worldwide.

Benefits of Certification

1. Establishes your credibility as a knowledgeable and capable individual in regard to

Riverbed's products and services.

2. Helps improve your career advancement potential.

3. Qualifies you for discounts and/or benefits for Riverbed sponsored events and training.

4. Entitles you to use the RCSP certification logo on your business card.
