NetApp (NCSA) NS0-145

I recently completed a 7 hour (47 video) CBTNuggets.com training course for NetApp Certified Storage Associate (NCSA) NS0-145. Below is the course content geared towards successful completion of the NS0-145 NetApp Certification. I highly recommend that you take the time to review all that CBTNuggets has to offer. I will post my course notes in short order.

NetApp Certified Storage Associate (NCSA) NS0-145
NetApp is a leader in IT storage. This course not only covers the fundamentals of storage and cloud computing, it also provides detailed step-by-step guidance on installing, configuring, and maintaining a NetApp Data ONTAP (7-Mode or Clustered) environment. This course also completely prepares students for the challenging NCSA exam. NetApp Certified Storage Associates demonstrate a basic understanding of NetApp storage systems and Data ONTAP administration and management solutions. Students can understand the features and functions of 7-Mode and clustered Data ONTAP, and are able to perform basic administration of NetApp storage controllers running the Data ONTAP® operating system in NFS and Windows® (CIFS) multi-protocol environments.
