VNXP VNX Unified Storage Performance Workshop

    This Expert level course provides a thorough exposure to performance on the VNX Unified Storage platform. This is a workshop-format course, with heavy emphasis on performance analysis student activities and instructor debriefs. Topical areas include the use of Unisphere Analyzer, command outputs from Navisphere Secure CLI and File server_stats, and the analysis of those performance statistics. Other topics include evaluating performance statistics utilizing different workload patterns, RAID and disk types. The performance implications of using VNX Replication Software such as SnapSure, Replicator, VNX Snapshots, SnapView and SAN Copy. Also covered are VNX features including data compression and deduplication, FAST VP, and FAST Cache, among others.

    COURSE OBJECTIVE:
    Upon successful completion of this course, participants should be able to:

    • Determine VNX Unified performance using metrics and workload analysis
    • Use Block and File performance tools for analysis and troubleshooting
    • Describe the performance implications regarding different drive types and LUN Layout
    • Identify AVM performance considerations
    • Describe the performance implications of data compression and deduplication, FAST VP and FAST Cache
    • Explain the performance impact of using File deduplication, SnapSure, and Replicator
    • Identify performance considerations when using SnapView and VNX Snapshots
    • Explain the impact in using SAN Copy and MirrorView on an application
    • Size and validate a VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) storage solution for application performance

     

    TARGET AUDIENCE:
    This course is intended for individuals who are responsible for architecting, managing, optimizing, and troubleshooting VNX Unified storage performance.
