IBM FlashSystem A9000 and A9000R Storage Implementation - SSFS4DG

Description

Industry-leading data reduction technology that combines inline, real-time pattern matching and removal, data deduplication, and compression is part of this course. In addition, topics include the definition of systems in the GUI, and the creation of a logical configuration using the physical capacity of the all-flash storage enclosure. This course covers the IBM Hyper-Scale Manager (also known as the HSM) that was developed along with the IBM FlashSystem A9000, and A9000R storage systems. This unique, user interface, IBM Hyper-Scale Manager is not a typical, table-driven interface. It is a fresh approach, to storage management, based on a series of user studies that has helped pinpoint key capabilities, that simplify storage management.
