Hitachi Content Platform Replication TXI6754

C OUR SE DE S CR IP T IO N

This course provides information on how replication works. It gives you insight on various link topologies and enables you to understand replication monitoring, failover management and Hitachi Content Platform (HCP) recovery with a replica.

Additionally, hands-on lab activities will enable you to gain practical experience and knowledge on how to set up replication between HCP systems.

C OUR SE OB JEC T I V E S
