Professionals who manage NetApp storage systems and need a deeper understanding of protocols and performance in a clustered Data ONTAP environment.
The courses below are recommended before attending the Manage NAS and Performance on Clustered Data ONTAP class:
- Clustered Data ONTAP Administration;
- Or ONTAP 9 Cluster Administration and Data Protection (CDOTDP9);
- Hands-on experience with Data ONTAP (three to six months).
