NetApp Architecture & Storage Design Workshop (NAASD)

• SAN designers and managers, who are responsible for planning and designing NetApp storage environments

• Basic knowledge in the field of storage technologies

This course enables the participants to evaluate project requirements and to develop a suitable NetApp storage solution. The course gives an overview of current concepts and requirements in the mid-range and high-end storage solutions and shows how a storage solution is optimally integrated into the IT landscape. Concepts of storage networks, storage systems and backup solutions are also discussed, with an emphasis on functionality, availability, administration and security.
