Don’t miss out on this customized, one-time-only course material.
EMC
Time: 8:00 a.m. till 12:00 p.m. May 9th, 2007
Title: The Enterprise Advantage and Best Practices of EMC Software and Hardware
Description: During this technical session, IT professionals with responsibility for selling, designing, and supporting EMC storage will learn about the future direction of EMC's newest products and services. Through recent research, product development and acquisitions such as VMware and Kashya, EMC continues to be one of the fastest-growing software businesses. Get the competitive edge you need in the industry by understanding how these developments coincide with QLogic technologies to provide you with the tools to ensure future success!
In the second half, EMC will deliver a certificate-level workshop designed for best practices that will give technical attendees the proven skills to contribute to offering best-in-class EMC solutions and services, featuring the CX and DMX products in a QLogic environment, resulting in the most comprehensive storage platforms available.
Oracle
Time: 1:00 p.m. till 5:00 p.m. May 9th, 2007
Title: Optimizing Clustered Databases with Oracle RAC and QLogic InfiniBand
Description: During this four hour course, attendees will be introduced to the concepts and capabilities of Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) and the performance and scalability benefits of using QLogic InfiniBand (IB) for RAC interconnect and storage network consolidation. In the first hour, attendees will be to given an overview of Oracle 10g RAC and the architecture that supports RAC in an InfiniBand grid computing environment. Advanced topics covered in the final three hours will include Oracle RAC installation, storage configuration, building a database, monitoring RAC using Grid Control, configuring for high availability and performance tuning. A RAC cluster will be available and load balancing and fail-over will be demonstrated. Attendees will leave with an understanding of how deploying Oracle 10g RAC with QLogic InfiniBand switches and Reliable Datagram Sockets (RDS) can achieve new levels of database performance, scalability and availability, while dramatically reducing total cost of ownership.
QLogic Corporation
Time: 8:00 a.m. till 12:00 p.m. May 10th, 2007
Title: Architect Enterprise Fabrics with QLogic Next Generation Switches
Description: This session encompasses building and configuring Fibre Channel fabrics by using the QLogic core/edge architecture philosophy. In this course, a comparison of the new 9000 features along side existing QLogic products including advantages over competitors will be covered. Learn how a 10Gb backbone can add flexibility and accommodate future fabric growth with the lowest possible TCO.
In addition, topics will include enterprise fabric ‘best practices’ to avoid over-subscription, adjust for proper load balancing, and configuring the SANbox® 9000 with HyperStack™ cables for fault tolerance. During this hands-on course attendees will get practical experience with slot configuration, hot plug/swap blades, zoning, real time software upgrades, NPIV and an overview of the new Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007™ software.
Prerequisite: To Be Posted 3/31
AMD
Time: 1:00 p.m. till 5:00 p.m. May 10th, 2007
Title: Designing Clustered Computing Solutions to Distribute Computing Resources
Description: This course introduces the concept of clustered solutions coupled with the idea of pooling IT resources to distribute them dynamically in order to meet fluctuating business demands.
A cluster is only as efficient as its components, therefore topics such as AMD’s quad-core technology, efficiencies of the AMD processors, HPC Stream Process and the Direct Connect Architecture with HyperTransport™ will be discussed. Students will leave with an understanding of how to deliver the perfect balance of scalability, performance, and cost, including how to reduce space, power, hardware, and administration costs while providing an efficient and secure computing infrastructure.
