The Building HPE Software Defined Infrastructure Solutions course is a Web-Based Training that is approximately 20 hours of self-directed content. It includes lectures and activities in the ratio of approximately 15% activities and 85% lecture. Given a customer scenario, you will learn to design HPE Software-Defined Infrastructure Solutions. You will also learn to analyze the workload and its use case and prescribe the appropriate infrastructure platform (bare metal, containers, virtualization, etc.) including computing, storage, and networking.
Skills Gained
After you successfully complete this course, expect to be able to:
- Describe Software Defined Infrastructure Architecture and Technologies
- Plan and Design Software Defined Infrastructure Solutions
- Deploy Software Defined Infrastructure Solutions
- Troubleshoot Software Defined Infrastructure Solutions
- Manage, Monitor, and Maintain Software Defined Infrastructure Solutions
Who Can Benefit
This certification is targeted to solution architects who have experience designing and implementing a complex solution and want to validate their knowledge and skills to leverage HPE solutions in multi-site environments. Candidates typically define business needs and propose and may deploy the solutions.
