This course is designed for new or entry-level B-Series SAN administrators. It provides a comprehensive understanding of everyday administration within an HPE SAN solution, covering a broad range of technologies and concepts such as FC, iSCSI, and FCoE. It discusses basics and building blocks of FC and IP-SAN with examples based on B-Series products, as well as the role of SAN-enabled hosts and disk targets. B-Series SAN features and management options are also presented. Other topics include data protection, basic SAN security, and performance aspects of SAN components. Please note that advanced technologies are only introduced in this course, while they are fully covered in the SAN Essentials II: Advanced B-series Networking class. This training helps students gain the experience needed to tackle the challenges of working in medium-sized and enterprise-class BSeries SAN environments. This course covers general SAN technologies and StoreFabric B-series specific topics.

Students should be experienced professionals with a solid understanding of servers, storage, networks and virtualization

HPE SAN Essentials I Administration Fundamentals Training Course in New Zealand

New Zealand is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean and it consists of two main islands and 700 smaller islands. Two main islands are the North Island and the South Island. The capital city of New Zealand is Wellington and the most popular city of the island country is Auckland. English, Māori and New Zealand Sign Language are the official languages of New Zealand. As of January 2022, the population of the country is about 5,138,120. 70% of the population are of European descent, 16.5% are indigenous Māori, 15.1% Asian and 8.1% non-Māori Pacific Islanders.

Since most of the country lies close to the coast, mild temperatures are observed year-round. January and February are the warmest months while July is the coldest month of the year. Fiordland, the first national park of New Zealand Tongariro
