Designing HPE Storage Solutions, Rev. 18.31 (01113246) (H9TH3S)

This course teaches students how to identify, recommend, and explain Enterprise Storage Solutions architectures and technologies, and translate business requirements into storage solution designs that support applications and data across physical, virtual and cloud environments with a common architecture and converged management. The course also covers designing HPE backup solutions including the right Backup, Recovery, and Archive (BURA) strategies for various customer scenarios. The course uses participant-centered learning and hands-on emulators. Emulators use software to replicate HPE Storage technologies and allow learners to engage in lab activities using web-based resources.
