This is an exciting time to explore storage. Big data analytics, mobile and social applications are creating alot of data. Data stored in your data center or the cloud, needs to be delivered, managed and retained. Optimizing data storage reveals insights to deliver competitive advantages.

IBM Spectrum Storage, Virtualization, High Availability and the Cloud are areas to explore. This digital class, SS00DG is a special subset to SS01G the foundational course for the IBM Storage course portfolio. This course will explore storage solutions for the Cloud, details on the IBM Spectrum family, and tape and disk product families.

There are no labs for this course.
