Distributed Storage and Information Management (SS2011)
Overview
Information Storage and Management (ISM) is the only course of its kind to fill the knowledge gap in understanding varied components of modern information storage infrastructure. It provides a strong understanding of information storage technologies which prepares you to learn advanced concepts, technologies and also enable you to make more informed decisions in an increasingly complex IT environment. You will learn about the architectures, features, and benefits of Intelligent Storage Systems; storage networking technologies such as FC-SAN, NAS, and IP-SAN; long-term archiving solution – CAS; business continuity solutions such as backup and replication, the increasingly critical area of information security, and the emerging field of storage virtualization including storage resource management. The technologies described in the course are illustrated and reinforced with EMC product examples. Realistic case studies enable the participant to design the most appropriate solution for given sets of criteria.
Prerequisite Knowledge/Skills
To understand the content and successfully complete this course, a participant must have a basic understanding of computer architecture, operating systems, networking, and databases.
Course Objectives
Upon successful completion of this course, participants should be able to:
- Evaluate storage architectures; understand logical and physical components of a storage infrastructure including storage subsystems, RAID and Intelligent storage systems
- Describe storage networking technologies such as FC-SAN, NAS, IP-SAN and data archival solution – CAS
- Identify different storage virtualization technologies and their benefits
- Understand and articulate business continuity solutions including, backup technologies, and local and remote replication solutions
