Learn how to plan and implement tasks associated with integrating the SVC into your storage area network.
Learn how to leverage SAN storage connectivity by integrating a layer of intelligence or virtualization, the SAN Volume Controller (SVC) to facilitate storage application data access independence from storage management functions and requirements. This course will focus on planning and implementation tasks associated with integrating the SVC into the storage area network. It also explains how to:
