Implementing HPE Composable Infrastructure Solutions, Rev. 19.21

The Integrating HPE Composable Infrastructure 19.21 course is five days in duration and includes lectures and hands-on activities in the ratio of approximately 25/75 (lecture/ activities). Hands-on include working with HPE Synergy hardware, HPE 3PAR storage, and OneView DCS 4.2.

After you successfully complete this course, expect to be able to:

• Describe the mainstream HPE enterprise compute product portfolio
• Review and validate design for compute solution implementation.
• Install, configure, and set up HPE compute solutions.
• Troubleshoot HPE compute solutions.
• Demonstrate how monitor, maintain, and manage solutions

The ideal candidate typically has a minimum of three years of design and/or operational experience or equivalent in at least one of the core HPE areas (Server, Storage, and Networking) and six months integration and/or implementation experience or equivalent in other HPE solutions and technologies.
