Sammanfattning Information Storage and Management is the only course of its kind to fill the knowledge gap in understanding varied components of modern storage infrastructure. It is the first course in the Storage Technologist Track (EMCST) and provides a comprehensive introduction to storage technology which will enable you to make more informed decisions in an increasingly complex IT environment. It builds a strong understanding of underlying storage technologies and prepares you to learn advanced concepts, technologies and products. You 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 Content Addressed Storage (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 storage technology. These are illustrated and reinforced with EMC examples.
