Configuring Network Storage Solutions with RHEL

Huge amounts of RAM and CPU won't do us much good if there's no Storage to hold our data, or Networking to access our data stores. In this course, we will harness the power of Open Source to create efficient solutions to enterprise storage problems.

Samba isn't just a genre, it's a versatile piece of software. In this course, Configuring Network Storage Solutions with RHEL, you will learn that iSCSI isn't another family of products made and marketed by Apple, it's an extremely useful technology that presents the power of a robust SAN without the exorbitant costs. First, you will be working through a series of real-world scenarios and explore how to do data replication with GlusterFS. Next, you will expand on how to administer a storage area network. Finally, you will explore how to share files heterogeneously with the SMB protocol. By the end of this course, you will be able to create a robust and practical storage solutions that are efficient and cost effective.
