Storage
Essentials: A Survey of Key Storage Technologies
Intended for students who need a solid grounding in the technical concepts
underlying the storage industry, this one-day class teaches students the
fundamentals of storage technologies. It also provides the essential knowledge
necessary to understand more advanced topics such as storage networking and
disaster recovery.
We focus on
terminology, paradigms, and concepts, and the class does not require previous
hands-on technical experience. However, the class is also suitable for
consultants, teachers, technical salespeople and systems engineers who need to
refine and categorize their knowledge in order to speak as experts on storage
technology.
We offer Storage
Essentials regularly in the S.F. Bay area. Private and on-site versions are also
available. We are happy to customize this class to suit the particular needs of
the audience.
