Information Storage and Management (ISM) is a unique course that provides a comprehensive understanding of the various storage infrastructure components in data center environments. The latest iteration of this popular course — ISM v3 (version 3) — enables participants to make informed decisions on storage-related technologies in increasingly complex IT environments, which are fast changing with the adoption of software-defined infrastructure management and third platform technologies (cloud, Big Data, social, and mobile technologies). ISMv3 provides a strong understanding of storage technologies and prepares participants for advanced concepts, technologies, and processes. Participants will learn the architectures, features, and benefits of intelligent storage systems outlined the course module section below. The ISMv3 course takes an open-approach to describe all the concepts and technologies, which are further illustrated and reinforced with EMC-related product examples.
