Course overview
A storage and data protection course covering architectures, backup strategy and disaster recovery. The course covers block, file and object storage, RAID and erasure coding, snapshots and replication, then backup strategy: retention, the 3-2-1 rule, immutability against ransomware, and recovery testing.
Learners write and test a backup and disaster recovery plan with measured RTO and RPO.
Who it is for
- System and storage administrators
- Infrastructure engineers
- IT managers responsible for continuity
- Cloud engineers designing durability
Prerequisites
Server administration and networking fundamentals.
How it runs
Learn → Practise → Build → Experience → Demonstrate, ending in a capstone. Delivered by practitioners from the engineering bench, in Madurai, Coimbatore and online.
