Compendium Centrum Edukacyjne

The Managing HPE Primera course provides an overview of the HPE Primera portfolio. The course teaches how to perform common day-to-day management tasks with handson labs (HOL), including creating the right data-efficient volumes on an all-flash HPE Primera array, and leveraging the power of HPE InfoSight. This course also provides knowledge of the advanced capabilities of the HPE Primera storage array, including lower level data reduction features, reporting, monitoring and alerting, and QOS, as well as local and remote replication options. You gain a practical understanding of HPE Primera array capabilities using extensive hands-on lab exercises. This course is the combination of:

• HM9Q5S: HPE Primera I: Management and Connectivity (1 day)
• HM9Q6S: HPE Primera II: Monitoring and Replication (2 days)
