Course Details
In this course, you’ll focus on advanced fabric configurations and multiprotocol implementations, such as iSCSI, FCIP, and FCoE. You will cover migrating switches, routing, booting from SAN with iSCSI and FC, optimization for virtualization, encryption, and security and performance throughout the implementations. In hands-on labs, you will configure each of the covered subjects and harden the environment with various security options. The course is intended to provide a level-set for students who are generally quite familiar with SAN technology, but not as familiar with advanced and emerging products and technologies.
