Course Overview
NetApp Portfolio: Exploring SAN Architectures and Configurations Training (SANARCH) Course – Hands-on
The NetApp Portfolio: Exploring SAN Architectures and Configurations Training (SANARCH) course is a 2 day Instructor-led class where you learn how to differentiate between the SAN architectures in the NetApp portfolio:
- FAS and All Flash FAS (AFF) systems with the clustered Data ONTAP operating system
- E-Series and EF-Series systems with the SANtricity operating system
NetApp Portfolio: Exploring SAN Architectures and Configurations Training (SANARCH) Course – Customize it
- We can adapt this training course to your group’s background and work requirements at little to no added cost.
- If you are familiar with some aspects of this training course, we can omit or shorten their discussion.
- We can adjust the emphasis placed on the various topics or build the training around the mix of technologies of interest to you (including technologies other than those included in this outline).
- If your background is nontechnical, we can exclude the more technical topics, include the topics that may be of special interest to you (e.g., as a manager or policy-maker), and present the training course in manner understandable to lay audiences.
