Managing Storage Area Networks course provides students with a five-day, instructor-led-training and hands-on, multi-vendor environment in which they learn how to configure a SAN infrastructure. It is an excellent learning opportunity for SAN professionals to aid in understanding current SAN technologies and applies those constructs towards the implementation of a SAN solution for their environments. Students will perform tasks on various hardware components to configure a working SAN. The course introduces students to protocols, design, security, and approaches to maintaining a SAN environment.Managing Storage Area Networks course provides students with a five-day, instructor-led-training and hands-on, multi-vendor environment in which they learn how to configure a SAN infrastructure.
