SAN/NAS and Converged/Hyper Converged Infrastructure Training

This course gives you the opportunity to learn about different storage protocols (SAN/NAS) with special focus on EMC Storage (VNX, Isilon etc.). Students will also get to learn about the Fiber Channel switching, zoning and also learn about Converged technologies like VBlock and Hyper Converged technologies like Nutanix and Simplivity. This course can be made into a 40 hour or 80 hour course depending on the topics we choose. 40 hours for SAN/NAS and 80 hours for SAN/NAS AND Converged/Hyper Converged Infrastructure
