Many storage solutions and characteristics available on-premises are also available in the cloud. These storage solutions are often primarily based on the hard disk drive (HDD) and solid state drive (SSD) technologies. Learn about HDD and SDD as well as other technologies in this technical course.
In addition to a theoretical explanation of HDD and SDD storage, learn how to configure virtual HDD and SSD disks for cloud virtual machines. Configure cloud files in various cloud storage tiers. Examine when NAS (network-attached storage) and SAN (storage area network) storage should be used and how RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) is used. Then, practice configuring software RAID in Windows and Linux.
Upon completion, you'll be able to work with HDD and SDD storage as well as NAS, SANs, and software RAID levels. This course also helps prepare you for the CompTIA Server+ SK0-005 certification exam.
