About this course
This course develops practical capability in Storage Fundamentals. Its course-specific content covers Storage characteristics, Media and protection, Capacity operations, Design exercise, followed by an applied project focused on plan storage tiers for a growing application. The lessons include concrete configuration, design, testing or operational decisions appropriate to the subject.
Who this is for
Learners starting in storage & backup technologies and professionals who want an organized foundation before more advanced work.
Before you start
Basic computer literacy and comfort using the relevant operating system. No prior production experience is assumed; any lab accounts or software are confirmed before training.
Plan storage tiers for a growing application
Deliver plan storage tiers for a growing application. Use the module outcomes to state requirements, demonstrate a working result, test an expected failure or boundary case, and document assumptions and follow-up work.
