Course Content
This course teaches you the administrative skills needed to install, configure, manage, and upgrade three different Nutanix storage solution products:
• Nutanix Files - As part of this module, you will set up and manage Nutanix Files, a software-defined, scale-out file storage solution that provides a repository for unstructured data, such as home directories and departmental shares.
• Nutanix Volumes - You will learn how Nutanix Volumes provides file storage for your physical workloads, with the same simplicity as virtualized workloads, consolidating infrastructure into a single unified platform.
• Nutanix Objects - Nutanix Objects allows you to build a simple, secure, and scale-out stack. We show you how easy it is to spin up the Nutanix Objects service in a few simple steps.
Prerequisites
• This course requires basic system administration knowledge acquired through training or hands-on experience.
• You should be familiar with Nutanix storage concepts, be able to create a VM through the Nutanix web console (Prism) and know how to run commands from the command line interface (CLI).
