Performance Analysis on Data ONTAP Training Course and Workshop in Bangalore, Mysore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, Mumbai, Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Kolkata

This Performance Analysis on Data ONTAP training course provides knowledge and skills to perform data collection and analysis on NetApp storage systems. You will learn how to interpret data and apply performance changes based on their analysis. You will use analysis data for tuning and monitoring performance.

By attending Performance Analysis on Data ONTAP workshop, delegates will learn to:

Recognize performance terminology and basic methodology
Use known methods and tools to collect performance data
Describe the Data ONTAP architecture and the benefits of features such as NVRAM and the WAFL (Write Anywhere File Layout) file system
Use knowledge about how data flows through the network and protocol layers of Data ONTAP to monitor and analyze storage system performance
Examine command output from case studies to identify performance bottlenecks
Perform basic software configuration and recognize diagnostic operations for the Performance Acceleration Module and FlexScale
Use FlexCache to improve NFSv2 and NFSv3 read performance
Use the reallocate command to measure volume or file layout and optimize the layout when appropriate
Implement configuration for best practices for resiliency and performance

Knowledge of Data ONTAP 7-Mode Administration

The Performance Analysis on Data ONTAP class is ideal for:

Administrators and support personnel who administrate NetApp storage systems running Data ONTAP and who wish to have a deeper understanding of the system performance.
