Overview
Learn how to implement your Microsoft SharePoint solution on NetApp storage for maximum benefit. In this course, you examine the components of the SharePoint solution on NetApp storage and explore how to configure the components for maximum benefit. Through hands-on exercises, you migrate SharePoint data to NetApp storage and leverage SnapManager for SharePoint (SMSP) to back up and restore the data. You use Remote Blob Storage (RBS) to optimize the storage of SharePoint data on NetApp storage. You also recover and monitor data, and troubleshoot the SharePoint on NetApp solution.

Reviews
Course was great and informative. The instructor had a good flow and was very personable.
Concise and good to follow along. Although it is a lot to take in under a short period of time.
Very good company. I've done technical trainings at their facility in downtown Montreal in the past and I'Ve always appreciated them.
had a good time with the course, however some topics were left out due to the compact amount of time for training.
Overall ExitCertified is a great training provider and the remote learning is as effective as in person.
