NetApp SnapCenter software is an easy-to-use enterprise platform to securely coordinate and manage data protection across applications, databases, and file systems.
SnapCenter simplifies backup, restore, and clone lifecycle management by offloading these tasks to application owners without sacrificing the ability to oversee and regulate activity on the storage systems. And by leveraging storage-based data management, it enables increased performance and availability, as well as reduced testing and development times.
Overview
This NetApp training course covers the deployment of the SnapCenter Software 4.0 release. In this course you learn how to install, monitor, and manage SnapCenter Server and SnapCenter Plug-ins. You learn how to install licenses, configure role-based access control (RBAC), and install the SnapCenter Plug-ins for Windows, Linux, and Oracle. You learn how to prepare hosts and connect to the NetApp ONTAP storage system.
You also learn how to back up and restore Windows file system data and configure SnapMirror and SnapVault relationships for use with SnapCenter software. The course materials include a guide for hands-on exercises that you perform in a lab setting.
