This course provides a comprehensive understanding of the various storage infrastructure components in data center environments. It enables participants to make informed decisions on storage-related technologies in an increasingly complex IT environment, which is fast changing with the adoption of software-defined infrastructure management and third platform technologies (cloud, Big Data, social, and mobile technologies). Participants will learn about storage networking technologies such as FC SAN, IP SAN, and FCoE SAN; backup and replication; the highly-critical area of information security; and storage infrastructure management.
