IBM Storwize V7000 Implementation Workshop

This course is designed to leverage SAN storage connectivity by integrating an intelligence layer - IBM Storwize V7000 - to facilitate storage application data access independent of storage management features and requirements. It focuses on planning and implementation tasks associated with integrating IBM Storwize V7000 with storage network. It uses both internal IBM Storwize V7000 storage and external heterogeneous SAN-attached storage to centralize storage delivery to Fibre Channel and iSCSI host servers from common storage pools.
