Administration of OnCommand Unified Manager and Integrated Solutions

Administration of OnCommand Unified Manager and Integrated Solutions (AOCMCDOT) is a 2 day instructor led course that demonstrates through brief lectures, exercises, and classroom discussion how to deploy and maintain an integrated OnCommand Unified Manager and pair it with OnCommand Workflow Automation (WFA) data-management solution. You learn how the performance-management features of Unified Manager provide a unified approach to storage management that reduces complexity. You also learn to how to extend Unified Manager’s data protection capabilities with WFA.

Prerequisites
