The Data Domain System Administration course provides the knowledge and skills needed for managing Data Domain systems. The course provides lecture and hands-on learning about Data Domain system concepts, verifying system configuration, managing network interfaces, configuring and managing a VTL, performing data backups and recoveries, managing data security, DD Boost and replication, planning for capacity and throughput, and monitoring and upgrading a Data Domain system.
Upon successful completion of this course, participants should be able to:
- Describe deduplication
- Describe the Data Domain operating environment, including Data Domain deduplication
- Identify and configure Data Domain data paths
- Perform a Data Domain system initial setup
- Access and copy data to a Data Domain system
- Configure and manage Data Domain network interfaces
- Describe and configure a VTL
- Customize and manage a Data Domain deduplication file system
- Describe and perform data replication and recovery
- Configure and manage data security on a Data Domain system
- Describe DD Boost
- Perform a DD Boost backup
- Describe capacity and throughput planning
- Monitor a Data Domain system
This course is intended for administrators, support personnel, and others responsible for using and managing Data Domain systems.
