In VPLEX Management training course, you will gain an in-depth understanding of how to install, manage, monitor and maintain a VPLEX system. Operational aspects of a VPLEX Local, Metro, and Geo, using Unisphere for VPLEX and the VPLEX CLI, are covered. Implementing VPLEX into an existing environment and provisioning storage from both the local and remote clusters are topics for both lecture and labs. Distributed volumes and working with Consistency Groups are discussed and practiced. Basic Troubleshooting and monitoring VPLEX performance are discussed.

- Describe common VPLEX terms, configuration options, hardware and software architecture
- Describe high level data flow within a VPLEX system
- Manage VPLEX using Unisphere and CLI
- Create Virtual Volumes and provision them to Hosts
- Encapsulate existing SAN storage into VPLEX
- Configure Distributed Volumes for a VPLEX Metro system
- Describe integration and interoperability considerations that apply when preparing to deploy VPLEX into a data center.
