Now Available: Information Storage and Management v3.0 from EMC®
Information Storage and Management (ISM) is the only course of its kind to fill the knowledge gap in understanding varied components of modern information storage infrastructure.
It provides a comprehensive introduction to information storage technology that will enable students to make more informed decisions in an increasingly complex IT environment. It builds a strong understanding of underlying storage technologies and prepares students to learn advanced concepts, technologies, and products. Participants will learn about the architectures, features, and benefits of Intelligent Storage Systems; networked storage technologies such as FC-SAN, NAS, and IP-SAN; long-term archiving solutions such as CAS; the increasingly critical area of information security; and the emerging field of storage virtualization technologies. This unique, open course focuses on concepts and principles of information storage technology. These are illustrated and reinforced with EMC examples.
This course is intended for:
Experienced storage professionals who may not have exposure to all of the segments of modern storage infrastructure.
Experienced IT professionals taking on the responsibility to manage storage infrastructure.
Students and IT professionals who want to build their career in the storage industry.
Organization-wide IT teams who are directly or indirectly responsible for planning, designing, deploying, managing, or leveraging information infrastructure.
Individuals who are seeking EMC Proven™ Professional Information Storage and Management Associate (EMCPA) level certification.
Prerequisite Knowledge/Skills
To understand the content and successfully complete this course, a student must have an understanding of computers, operating systems, networking, and databases.
Students with experience in specific segments of storage infrastructure would also be able to fully assimilate the course material.
Course Objectives
Upon successful completion of this course, participants should be able to:
Understand logical and physical components of an information storage infrastructure.
Evaluate storage architectures, including storage subsystems, DAS, SAN, NAS, and CAS.
Examine emerging technologies including IP-SAN.
Define backup, recovery, disaster recovery, business continuity, and replication.
Identify components of managing and monitoring the data center.
Define information security and identify different storage virtualization technologies.
Differences Between ISM Version 2 and Version 3
More streamlined: Slide content has been simplified from 750 to 450 slides to make instruction easier.
More interactive: Version 3.0 now includes simulation and labs with the Labsphere simulator.
More organized content structure: This course is organized into 4 sections and 16 self-contained modules (detailed below) that provide comprehensive understanding of all segments of storage technology.
