COURSE INFORMATION
Exploring NetApp SAN Architectures and Configurations (SANARCH) Overview:
Exploring NetApp SAN Architectures and Configurations (SANARCH) course is designed for the pre-sales engineer to make an informed decision of which product in the NetApp portfolio best fits the customers needs. The following storage architectures of each SAN solution within the NetApp product portfolio will be examined:
- FAS (Data ONTAP OS)
- AFF (Data ONTAP OS)
- E-Series (SANtricity OS)
- EF-Series (SANtricity OS)
- FlashRay (Mars OS)
The course will begin with a brief overview of SAN, followed by a comparison of each of the products architecture and implementation steps, and finally how to choose the correct product for a customer’s SAN solution.
Who Should Attend:
- Systems Engineer (SE), Customer
