A central focus of the course is the monitoring, analysis and elimination of errors in the SAN. Practical examples are used to show how problems in the SAN can be proactively prevented and errors can be detected and eliminated. For this purpose, in-depth knowledge of the FC protocol is built up and the interrelationships and interaction of the individual components in the SAN are presented.
The course provides practical exercises to help you understand log files, hardware diagnostic output and PortLog dumps. In the course of practical exercises the participant will get an understanding of how problems and performance bottlenecks in the SAN can be identified and if necessary eliminated.
The presentation of security in the SAN and especially the implementation of advanced security like SCC, DCC and DHCHAP is another focus of the course.
The complex heterogeneous test environment consists of:- Server : Windows, Linux or VMware
- Storage : All-Flash Storage System
- Switches: Brocade G720/ G620/ 6505/ 6510
This training serves as a practical supplement for the "Brocade GEN 7 SAN Specialist" certification.

Hybrid training
- Hybrid training means that online participants can additionally attend a classroom course. The dynamics of a real seminar are maintained, and the online participants are able to benefit from that. Online participants of a hybrid course use a collaboration platform, such as WebEx Training Center or Saba Meeting. To do this, a PC with browser and Internet access is required, as well as a headset and ideally a Web cam. In the seminar room, we use specially developed and customized audio- and video-technologies. This makes sure that the communication between all persons involved works in a convenient and fault-free way.
