The Disaster Recovery using Veritas Replicator 6.0 and Global Cluster Option (VCS 6.0) for UNIX course is designed for system administrators who implement, manage, and support disaster recovery environments that include VCS clusters across multiple sites with replication between sites. In this hands-on course, you learn the fundamentals of data replication and become proficient in planning, implementing, and managing the Veritas Replicator component of your disaster recovery strategy. You will be able to use Veritas Replicator in cluster environments together with Veritas Cluster Server for disaster recovery purposes

ExitCertified team was excelling at presenting the course material and they often went the extra mile to make sure everyone understood all the elements of the course.
The course content and the delivery by the Instructor was good. I had a good learning experience with ExitCertified. Definitely recommend it to others.
The registration process was simple and the course was thorough and complete.
This course is very "Information" heavy and will require reviewing the Course guide for CLI commands if only used a few times a year.
Michael Stapleton held my attention to the course content even though is was a remote/virtual class.
