Kurssprache ist Deutsch, Schulungsunterlagen in Englisch in digitaler Form. Zielgruppe: NetApp customers, partners, and employees. Zielsetzung: MetroCluster software is a unique high-availability and disaster-recovery solution. This is an advanced course where you will learn how to install, configure and administer a MetroCluster environment. Hands-on labs, available in the ONTAP 9 environment, allow you to practice setting up the configuration, identify component failures and practice recovery steps. Dieses Seminar führen wir in Kooperation mit der Fast Lane GmbH durch.
