Course Overview
Data Protection and Management (DPM) is a unique course that provides a comprehensive understanding of various data protection and availability solutions for modern data protection wherever data lives including Cloud, data center or edge devices. It enables participants to make informed decisions on data protection architecture and technologies in an increasingly complex IT environment, which is fast changing with the adoption of software-defined data center (SDDC) and Cloud, Big Data, Social, and Edge. This course provides a strong understanding of faulttolerant IT infrastructure, data backup, data deduplication, data replication, data archiving, and data migration and prepares participants for advanced data protection concepts, technologies, and processes. Participants will learn cloud-based data protection techniques, SDDC-specific data protection, and solutions for protecting Big Data, cloud and mobile device data. Moreover, the course covers the highly critical areas of data security including ransomware protection, cyber recovery as well as the emerging need for data management and data governance. This course takes an open approach to describe all the concepts and technologies, which are further illustrated and reinforced with Dell EMC related product examples.
