Программа курса

Course Description:
This course provides an overview of Hitachi storage systems with a focus on block and unified storage. The course describes the architecture of Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform (VSP) G1000, VSP G1500, VSP F1500, and the midrange models, VSP G200, VSP G400, VSP G600, VSP G800, VSP F400, VSP F600, and VSP F800. Unified storage with embedded NAS modules as supported by VSP G400 to VSP G800 is also covered. Lab activities include identifying components, mapping storage volumes and connecting to the storage management tools such as Hitachi Storage Advisor (HSA) and Hitachi Command Suite (HCS). This course prepares you for the following Hitachi Vantara Qualified

Professional qualification test: ● Hitachi Vantara Qualified Professional: VSP G200 to VSP G800 Storage Installation (HQT-4120)

Depending on the location and course delivery format, this closed-book, proctored qualification test may be offered and administered by the instructor at the conclusion of this course, using the Kryterion Webassessor system. It is also available at Kryterion testing centers.
