SAN and NAS Storage

• An understanding of networking

Audience

• Network Engineers

SAN (Storage Area Network) is a consolidated data storage for enhancing the access to storage systems and devices. NAS (Network-Attched Storage) is a network storage device for storing and retrieving data. Together with SAN and NAS, users will be able to configure storage systems, data centers, and cloud environments for converging storage infrastructures.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at network engineers who wish to converge storage infrastructures with SAN and NAS.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Perform configurations of SAN and NAS storage on a storage system.
• Connect to storage systems and devices from a client.
• Compare SAN and NAS solutions for centralized storage.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Lots of exercises and practice.
• Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
