Implementing VMware vSphere on ONTAP (IMPVMWAR)

 

Course Content

In this 2 day, instructor led course, you learn how to implement NetApp’s Virtual Storage Console by deploying, managing, and protecting a VMware virtual infrastructure in both SAN and NAS environments using ONTAP. It also covers the implementation details for both traditional datastores and Virtual Volumes using Storage Policy Based Management. Monitoring of both traditional and VVOL performance characteristics are covered in lecture and hands on labs. Updated to align with ONTAP v9.4.

Who should attend

NetApp employees, channel partners and customers
