Hi all I am looking to plug a skills gap I have and so want to get some training on storage area networks (the configuration, networking and connecting to servers side of things ) can anyone recommend any where ?

 

thanks as always in advance.

Its a bit of a tricky one as usually these types of courses are vendor specific. What makes and modes of SANs are you using?

Not sure where in the UK you are but in Leeds there is a place called the Leeds Networking Academy. Although not specifically "SAN's", they run a VMware vSphere configuration course which as part of it's brief covers connecting to SAN's.

 

The course: The Network Academy | VMware vSphere: Install, Configure, Manage v5.5

 

See point 6 on detailed course outline: https://mylearn.vmware.com/mgrreg/courses.cfm?ui=www_edu&a=one&id_subject=46424

You would almost definitely be better off running this as a closed solution. I know a group of trainers that deliver the HP courses and looking at that pricing, if you had just one other person interested you could have a trainer come to you. If you had 3-5 interested you would definitely save on that price.

 

It would be worth asking around.

Is it worth it these days? SANS, at least in education have a limited lifespan. I would seriously question anyone considering it now unless they're unlucky enough to be a secondary with a seriously poor internet connection (and then storage is the least of their worries!)
