Growing Digital Universe—Are You Ready?

By 2020, the amount of information in the Digital Universe will grow by a factor of 44 and the number of

containers or files will grow by a factor of 67. A significant portion of the Digital Universe will be centrally

hosted, managed, or stored in public or private repositories that today we call “cloud services.”

1 Motivate business stakeholders and IT teams to recognize the critical role of ‘information’ infrastructure.

Depending on your choice of storage networking technology, you may enhance or degrade your company’s existing network performance and availability.

2 Differentiate, select, and deploy various storage networking solutions based on application requirements.

Globalization of business requires data centers to provide 24 x 7 x 365 services. Implementing the correct storage networking option such as FC SAN, IP SAN, NAS, and unified storage solutions is crucial to meeting customer requirements.

3 Immediately contribute to business continuity planning and determine optimum information availability strategies.

Defining the Business Continuity (BC) and Disaster Recovery (DR) objectives is critical for designing and implementing cost-effective BC/DR solutions.

4 Discuss benefits of, and deploy cloud computing models and service offerings.

Influence the IT organization to adopt an approach that balances the needs and benefits of cloud computing with business requirements when determining:• Deployment models such as private, public, or hybrid cloud• Services such as SaaS, Paas, or Iaas

5 Discuss backup, recovery, and archival requirements and solutions for business-critical data.

Prolong or enhance the utilization of existing backup topologies, target devices, and storage capacities by combining different techniques, including but not limited to deduplication and proper archival strategy.

6 Identify storage security threats and set appropriate mechanisms in place.

Identifying the security threats from the storage, storage networking, virtualization, and cloud computing perspectives will help strengthen the overall security plan and strategy typically driven from applications, networking, and user access perspectives.

7 Set, monitor, and report key information storage management parameters including storage tiering policies.

Storing the right data to the right tier based on service level requirements for availability and performance will guarantee high returns from the information infrastructure.

We live in a data-driven world. Increasingly, the efficient operation of organizations across sectors relies on the effective use of vast amounts of data. Making sense of big data is a combination of organizations having the tools, skills and more importantly, the mindset to see data as the new “oil” fueling a company. Unfortunately, the technology has evolved faster than the workforce skills to make sense of it and organizations across sectors must adapt to this new reality or perish.”

Leveraging Learning Paths

Take the guesswork out of your education plan.

Learning paths are structured road maps of courses that help you develop a thorough understanding of your selected technologies. They ensure the gradual introduction of complex technologies and challenging concepts from foundation through expert levels. Self-paced modules are a great way to learn the concepts and principles, enabling students in the classroom to spend more time on discussions and hands-on lab activities.

Maximize your storage expertise with advanced-level training.

If you have the knowledge and experience, go straight to the advanced levels. You will learn increasingly complex integration scenarios and application-centric solution best practices.

Validate your knowledge.

Our learning paths are conveniently aligned to EMC Proven Professional certifications. If you choose to take the next step, you already have the knowledge and access to the supporting study materials to prepare for the exam. Free practice tests are available online for all EMC Proven Professional exams.

Utilize blended learning.

Not everybody learns the same way, or at the same pace. Some prefer a classroom environment, others do well with self-paced methods that are easier on their time and budget. EMC Education Services has a highly “blended” approach to learning, offering several training modalities. Some curriculum is offered in more than one way. Choose from traditional classroom training (with hands-on labs) or online learning where the pace of instruction is up to you.

Delivery ModesThe key advantage of blended learning is flexibility. Choose the learning mode that best fits your learning style, time constraints, and budget.
