MOC 10971 - Storage and High Availability with Windows Server (MOC10971)
In this Storage and High Availability with Windows Server training class, you will learn about traditional storage topologies such as Direct Attached Storage (DAS), Network Attached Storage (NAS), Storage Area Networks (SANs), and bus technologies such as Fibre Channel and Internet SCSI (iSCSI). The course will also cover the latest innovations concerning disks, volumes and file systems as well as new technologies such as Storage Spaces, tiering, thin provisioning and Data Deduplication, and enhanced functionality to SMB and NFS sharing protocols in Windows Server 2012 R2.
- Learn to manage and secure disks and volumes in Windows Server.
- Learn to describe storage technologies and components in Windows Server.
- Learn to implement and manage Storage Spaces and Data Deduplication.
- Learn to describe high availability and disaster recovery with Hyper-V virtual machines and high availability with failover clustering in windows Server 2012.
- Learn to plan and implement a failover cluster.
- Learn to describe managing server roles and clustering resources.
- Learn to implement and manage virtual machines by using Hyper-V with failover clustering.
- Learn to describe using System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager to perform storage infrastructure management.
- Learn to describe cloud-based storage and high availability solutions.
- Learn to plan and implement a Network Load Balancing (NLB) cluster.
