Continuous availability and rock-solid performance.
Industry-leading, NetApp AFF systems allow you to build a simplified and dedicated SAN that provides continuous access to mission-critical databases during both planned and unplanned events. NetApp’s storage efficiency, encryption, data protection, and ultra-fast response times means accelerating your Oracle, SAP, and Microsoft applications. Take advantage of unparalleled cloud connectivity for backup data protection, analytics, and automatic cold data storage.
Gain expertise on clustered storage system node configuration and how to configure switches and host systems on ONTAP SAN environment. The learning is reinforced through hands-on guided labs.
Overview
In this NetApp training course, you will learn the installation process for ONTAP 9 Data Management Software for a SAN environment.
The course provides information about block-level protocols, including FC, FCoE, NVMe, and iSCSI, on Microsoft Windows Server, Linux and VMware ESXi host operating systems.
The learning will be reinforced through hands-on guided labs. The course materials include a lab workbook that will serve as an on-the-job reference guide.
