Learn how to implement a hybrid cloud solution with Google Cloud using the NetApp Cloud Volumes ONTAP® solution. Connect a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and an on-premises data center to unify your infrastructure. Use NetApp Console™ to move data and manage storage in the hybrid cloud. Discover how NetApp® cloud services integrate into NetApp Console to provide enhanced data protection, security, and compliance. Understand how to optimize the capacity and performance of Cloud Volumes ONTAP.

This course focuses on enabling you to do the following:

• Create a VPN connection between a public cloud network VPC and an on-premises data center
• Deploy an agent in the public cloud
• Deploy Cloud Volumes ONTAP in both a single-node and high-availability (HA) configuration
• Use the NetApp Console to administer Cloud Volumes ONTAP
• Review data protection options for Cloud Volumes ONTAP
• Analyze data tiering options from on-premises to a cloud
