Overview

This course is designed to leverage SAN storage connectivity by integrating a layer of intelligence in virtualization. The SAN Volume Controller (SVC) facilitates storage application data access independence from storage management functions and requirements. This focus is on planning and implementation tasks associated with integrating the SVC into the storage area network.

It also explains how to:

  • Centralize storage provisioning to host servers from common storage pools.
  • Improve storage optimization and efficiency through Thin Provisioning, Data Reduction and Compression
  • Implement storage tiering and optimize flash drives and storage usage with Easy Tier
  • Facilitate the coexistence and migration of data from non-virtualized to the virtualized environment.

Utilize network-level storage subsystem-independent data replication services to satisfy backup and disaster recovery requirement.

This course offering is at the IBM Spectrum Virtualize V8.2.1.1 level.

Thinking about Onsite?

If you need training for 3 or more people, you should ask us about onsite training. Putting aside the obvious location benefit, content can be customised to better meet your business objectives and more can be covered than in a public classroom. Its a cost effective option. One on one training can be delivered too, at reasonable rates.

Submit an enquiry from any page on this site and let us know you are interested in the requirements box, or simply mention it when we contact you.
