Information Storage and Management v2

Course Description

Course Duration 5 Days

Overview Information Storage and Management (ISM) is the only course of its kind to fill the knowledge gap in understanding varied components of information storage infrastructure in classic and virtual environments. It provides a comprehensive learning on storage technology, which will enable you to make more informed decisions in an increasingly complex IT environment. It builds a strong understanding of underlying storage technologies and prepares you to learn advanced concepts, technologies and products. You will learn about the architectures, features, and benefits of intelligent storage systems; storage networking technologies such as FC-SAN, IP-SAN, NAS, object-based and unified storage; business continuity solutions such as backup and replication; the increasingly critical area of information security and management, and the emerging field of cloud computing. This unique, open course focuses on concepts and principles which are further illustrated and reinforced with EMC product examples. Audience This course is intended Experienced storage professionals who may not have exposure to all of the segments of modern storage infrastructure. Experienced IT professionals taking on the responsibility to manage storage infrastructure in both classic and virtualized environments. Students and IT professionals who want to build their career in the storage industry. Organization-wide IT teams who are directly or indirectly responsible for planning, designing, deploying, managing or leveraging information infrastructure. Individuals who are seeking EMC Information Storage Associate v2 (EMCISA) certification.
