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 strong understanding of information storage technologies
which prepares you to learn advanced concepts, technologies and also enable you to
make more informed decisions in an increasingly complex IT environment. You will learn
about the architectures, features, and benefits of Intelligent Storage Systems; storage
networking technologies such as FC-SAN, NAS, and IP-SAN; long-term archiving solution
– CAS; business continuity solutions such as backup and replication, the increasingly
critical area of information security, and the emerging field of storage virtualization
including storage resource management. The technologies described in the course are
illustrated and reinforced with EMC product examples. Realistic case studies enable the
participant to design the most appropriate solution for given sets of criteria.
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.
