Course Overview

Top
Information Storage and Management (ISM) is a unique course that provides a comprehensive understanding of the various storage infrastructure components in a modern data center environment. Participants will learn the architectures, features, and benefits of intelligent storage systems including block-based, file-based, object-based, and unified storage; software-defined storage; storage networking technologies such as FC SAN, IP SAN, and FCoE SAN; business continuity solutions such as backup and replication; the highly-critical area of information security; and storage infrastructure management. This course takes an open-approach to describe all the concepts and technologies, which are further illustrated and reinforced with Dell products and based on real world use cases. This course aligns to the Associate level proven professional certification which serves as a baseline for a number of additional product specializations.
