EMC Storage

1. Scalability: Ability to scale storage resources to accommodate growing data volumes and changing business needs.

2. Performance: High-speed data access and low-latency performance to support demanding workloads and applications.

3. Data Protection: Advanced data protection features, including RAID, snapshots, replication, and encryption, to safeguard data against loss, corruption, and unauthorized access.

4. Reliability: Robust hardware and software components designed for high availability and fault tolerance to minimize downtime and ensure business continuity.

Before learning EMC Storage, it's beneficial to have the following skills:

1. Storage Fundamentals: Understanding of storage concepts, architectures, and technologies, including RAID, SAN, NAS, and storage protocols (e.g., Fibre Channel, iSCSI).

2. Operating Systems: Familiarity with operating systems such as Linux, Windows, and UNIX, including file systems, disk management, and storage configuration.

3. Networking: Knowledge of networking fundamentals, including TCP/IP, DNS, routing, and network security, as storage often relies on network connectivity.

4. Hardware Knowledge: Basic understanding of computer hardware components, storage devices, and storage area network (SAN) infrastructure.

By learning EMC Storage, you gain the following skills:

1. Storage Architecture: Understanding of storage architectures, including SAN, NAS, and DAS, and their components like storage arrays, switches, and controllers.

2. Data Management: Proficiency in data management tasks such as provisioning, allocation, replication, and migration to ensure efficient use of storage resources.

3. Performance Optimization: Ability to optimize storage performance by tuning configurations, implementing caching mechanisms, and utilizing tiered storage solutions.

4. Data Protection: Knowledge of data protection techniques such as RAID, snapshots, replication, and encryption to safeguard data against loss and unauthorized access.
