About this course
This course develops practical capability in Storage Virtualization. Its course-specific content covers Abstraction layers, Data services, Connectivity, Capacity validation, followed by an applied project focused on compare and validate virtual storage provisioning designs. The lessons include concrete configuration, design, testing or operational decisions appropriate to the subject.
Who this is for
Administrators, developers and practitioners who work with Storage Virtualization or plan to take on responsibilities in this area.
Before you start
Basic computer literacy and a foundational understanding of virtualization & data centers. Prior experience with the named product helps with the practical exercises.
Compare and validate virtual storage provisioning designs
Deliver compare and validate virtual storage provisioning designs. 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.
Course content
