The Veritas Access 7.2: Administration course is designed for the IT professional tasked with installing, configuring, and maintaining Veritas Access environments. Veritas Access is a software-only, scale-out network-attached storage (NAS) solution for unstructured data that can be installed on any x86 commodity server and can provide access to storage via multiple network protocols for on-premises and cloud ecosystems. This course covers how to use Veritas Access to manage storage, file systems, and shares using the Veritas Access Command Line Interface and web-based GUI. You will learn the basics of file system and file share administration. In addition, you learn about the different file sharing protocols supported in Veritas Access, such as NFS, CIFS, and S3. In this course you will configure cloud-based storage as a secondary tier in Veritas Access. You also learn how to integrate Veritas Access as Long Term Retention (LTR) storage for NetBackup.

Virtual delivery and coordination of the course was great. It had to be rescheduled several times by ExitCertified was always on top of things.

Excellent.
Great delivery skills by the facilitator and good course content.

Sean was a fantastic instructor! He went beyond the material to help one understand!

Setup for the training was easy and participants were mostly provided with the necessary things for continued learning, however, a couple people in my class dealt with technical issues with their virtual machines in the virtual training.

Great Class that will help as the state moves forward with the Cloud solution.
