This course teaches you the administrative skills needed to install, configure, manage, and upgrade three different Nutanix unified storage products:

  • Nutanix Volumes - Learn how Nutanix Volumes provides block storage for your VMs or physical hosts using the iSCSI protocol, with the same simplicity as virtualized workloads, consolidating infrastructure into a single unified platform.
  • Nutanix Files - Set up and manage Nutanix Files, a software-defined, scale-out file storage solution that provides Server Message Block (SMB) and Network File System (NFS) file services to clients.
  • Nutanix Objects - Learn how easy it is to spin up Nutanix Objects in a few simple steps, and build a simple, secure, and scale-out stack.

Who Can Benefit

  • Systems operators evaluating file, block, and object storage using Nutanix Files, Nutanix Volumes, and Nutanix Objects.
  • IT administrators and business leaders who manage Nutanix clusters and want a detailed deep dive into Nutanix storage administration.
  • Anyone pursuing Nutanix Certified Professional – Unified Storage (NCP-US) certification.

Prerequisites

  • This course requires basic system administration knowledge, acquired through training or hands-on experience.
  • You should be familiar with iSCSI, SMB, NFS storage protocols, and S3 compatible storage; be able to create a VM through the Nutanix web console (Prism); and know how to run commands from the command line interface (CLI).
