Information Storage and Management Exam (E20-001)

ASSOCIATE

Information Storage and Management (5 days) OR (20 hours) (4 e-Learning modules)

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.
