PowerMax and VMAX All Flash Performance (PMWAFP)

 

Course Overview

This course introduces participants to the methodology for analyzing the performance of PowerMax and VMAX All Flash family of storage arrays. Unisphere for PowerMax is used to analyze the performance of PowerMax and VMAX All Flash arrays. Metrics that are relevant for analysis of each of the components in the arrays are presented. Participants learn to identify bottlenecks for performance and provide recommendations to remedy the problem. Hands-on lab exercises using performance archives reinforce the concepts and methodology presented in the lecture.
