NetApp Certified Storage Associate (NCSA) NS0-145

March 2015 with Anthony Sequeira

NetApp is a leader in IT storage. This course not only covers the fundamentals of storage and cloud computing, it also provides detailed step-by-step guidance on installing, configuring, and maintaining a NetApp Data ONTAP (7-Mode or Clustered) environment.

This course also completely prepares students for the challenging NCSA exam. NetApp Certified Storage Associates demonstrate a basic understanding of NetApp storage systems and Data ONTAP administration and management solutions. Students can understand the features and functions of 7-Mode and clustered Data ONTAP, and are able to perform basic administration of NetApp storage controllers running the Data ONTAP^® operating system in NFS and Windows^® (CIFS) multi-protocol environments.

Note: The exam associated with this course was retired 1/1/2017. However, this course still retains value as a training resource.
