You Will Learn How To

  • Evaluate storage architectures, including storage subsystems, DAS, SAN, NAS, CAS
  • Define backup, recovery, disaster recovery, business continuity and replication
  • Examine emerging technologies including IP-SAN, storage virtualization and security
  • Decipher logical and physical components of a storage infrastructure
  • Establish business continuity (BC) concepts and principles
  • Identify components of managing and monitoring the data center

Course Benefits

The explosion of digital data has made the storage industry one of the highest growth sectors in the IT industry—and one of the most vital. Learning Tree has partnered with EMC Corporation to offer this course, which focuses on concepts and principles of storage technology, rather than on specific products.

Who Should Attend

Those working in any storage environment, including storage managers and administrators, database and network administrators, project managers, and others. A basic understanding of operating systems, networks and databases is required.

Workshop Course

In-class workshops and case studies reinforce the concepts of storage technologies taught throughout this course. Participants work in small groups to apply the knowledge gained to solve particular problems. Workshops include:
  • Selecting appropriate RAID protection schemes
  • Deciphering the best local and remote replication technologies
  • Choosing between DAS, SAN, NAS and CAS technologies
  • Deploying the most effective technology for your organization
