Enterprise Data Storage and Flash Storage Courses

This unique course provides a comprehensive mastery of the various storage infrastructure components and options in a modern data center environment. Participants will learn to apply storage-related technologies in a fast changing and complex IT environment due to the adoption of new technologies such as cloud, edge computing, Big Data, IoT, AI/ML, and 5G.

This course presents the knowledge necessary to administer and manage a VxRail Cluster. Key topics include management interfaces, managing cluster configurations, resource provisioning and expansion, monitoring, managing availability, and basic troubleshooting. Hands on labs included in
the course provide a step-by-step walkthrough of the key procedures to manage the cluster.

This course will prepare students to implement a Dell EMC PowerScale cluster, configure software features of the OneFS operating system and administer a cluster on a day to day basis. Students will learn about PowerScale's data protection methods, the ability to tier data from one node pool to another based on configured rules and synchronize data to other clusters or to cloud resources. This course is in alignment with the Specialist, Isilon Implementation Engineer Proven Professional certification. This is a direct update to the previously known Isilon Administration and Management course.

The Managing HPE 3PAR StoreServ I course is designed for the new or entry-level HPE 3PAR administrator.

This course is intended for individuals who will perform SAN management activities using vendor or EMC tools. The Connectrix family of switches are managed to provide connectivity to host and storage through a SAN. SAN switches are administered through their CLI and GUI management tools for configuration in a multi-switch fabric and to enable communication between the hosts and storage. Fibre Channel, FCIP, iSCSI and FCoE environments are presented for management and switch configuration along with NPIV and NPV. The concepts of EMC SAN best practices, performance monitoring, basic troubleshooting and security are also addressed

The Managing HPE 3PAR StoreServ II course is designed for the experienced HPE 3PAR administrator. The goal of the
class is to acquaint the 3PAR administrator with additional topics and features of the HPE 3PAR array.

This 3-day training covers advanced topics that a storage administrator will encounter after performing the tasks covered in the HPE 3PAR basic courses (HK902S and HK904S).

The OpenManage Enterprise course is a baseline course that provides a learner with a good understanding of the functions and features of OpenManage Enterprise. Lecture and lab activities cover the following topics for students: Installation/Configuration, navigating/using the web interface, describe and use the Discovery and Inventory process, manage devices and perform tasks using OpenManage Enterprise. Students learn about and use profiles and configuration templates. The course covers the integration of OME adaptors with SupportAssist Enterprise. The OpenManage Enterprise course includes the integration of the following plug-ins: SupportAssist, Power Manager, and Update Manager. Checklists have been incorporated to provide students with a “what to look for” when issues arise.

The Managing HPE Primera course provides an overview of the HPE Primera portfolio. The course teaches how to perform common day-to-day management tasks with handson labs (HOL), including creating the right data-efficient volumes on an all-flash HPE Primera array, and leveraging the power of HPE InfoSight.

This Specialist level course provides participants with an in-depth understanding of configuration tasks on PowerMax and VMAX family arrays. It also provides the knowledge required to deploy and manage PowerMax and VMAX family array-based local and remote replication solutions for business continuity needs. Key features and functions of the arrays are covered in detail. Topics include storage provisioning concepts, virtual provisioning, device creation and port management, and service level-based storage allocation to hosts. Operational details and implementation considerations for Dell EMC TimeFinder SnapVX and Symmetrix Remote Data Facility (SRDF) are covered. Participants will use Unisphere for PowerMax/VMAX and Solutions Enabler (SYMCLI) to manage configuration changes on the arrays. Hands-on lab exercises using Symmetrix Command Line Interface (SYMCLI) and Unisphere for PowerMax will be performed on Open Systems hosts attached to PowerMax and VMAX3 arrays.
