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.
