Course Overview
COURSE OVERVIEW
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 covers intelligent storage systems, networking technologies business continuity solutions, information security, and storage infrastructure management. The course content takes an open-approach to describe all the concepts and technologies, which are further illustrated and
reinforced with Dell product examples. The training prepares the learner for the Dell Technologies Proven Professional Information and Storage and Management Version 5.0 associate-level certification exam (DEA-1TT5) to be available in February 2022.
