SAN Training I – SAN Technology Training

Title
SF101 – Storage Technology Training I

Course Overview

SAN Training in Bangalore

Our SAN training courses prepare the student for a great career in SAN storage and data storage domain. Professionals who undergo this intensive SAN storage training course would do extremely well in SAN certification exams, SNIA certification exams and vendor’s storage certification exams (EMC certification, HP certification, Brocade certification, Netapp certification); SAN storage job interviews as well as develop an in-depth product understanding during vendor’s storage technology training courses (EMC storage training, Netapp Storage training, HP Storage training as well as training on Cisco & Brocade SAN switches).

Often people take training courses on storage products ranging from Storage switches to Arrays to Tape Devices to Storage Virtualization appliances. However, few of them really understand the gamut of storage technologies that made those products. As a result, there is an acute shortage of people in the SAN storage market who has a holistic understanding of the storage capabilities and how they relate to each other.

SAN storage training course covers various technologies in SAN (Storage Area Network) Domain. It starts with data storage, its importance and explosive growth of data. It then goes on to describe various Storage Topologies such as DAS, NAS and SAN which were evolved to support the exponential growth in data. Subsequently, it covers Fundamental Storage Protocols (SCSI, SATA, SAS, Fiber Channel, iSCSI), Block Storage Technologies (RAID, Volume Manager), Storage Virtualization, Storage and Data Management techniques.

The SAN training course is vendor neutral and it makes the attendee completely familiar with lot of technologies surrounding Storage Area Networks and various complex issues and solutions thereof due to explosive growth of data.
