Presentation
IBM Storage Protect is a comprehensive software solution for protecting and managing critical business data. It provides advanced backup, restore, archive and replication capabilities to ensure data availability and integrity, even during a disaster. It supports different environments, from small businesses and SMEs to data centres, and a wide range of platforms and storage types. It also centralises data protection management, optimises storage utilisation and reduces backup and recovery costs.
This 5-day course takes you into the core of IBM Storage Protect, providing practical skills to implement and manage the solution effectively. You will explore its architecture, components, key features and benefits. You will learn to install and configure the IBM Storage Protect V8 server, manage storage, establish data protection policies, perform backup and recovery operations and administer the system daily. You will also explore advanced capabilities such as replication and cloud storage.
Throughout this IBM TS619G course, practical exercises will help you apply your knowledge and prepare for real-world challenges.
