The Cloud Storage course covers cloud storage devices, architectures and solutions, exploring their structures, mechanisms and technologies from an implementation perspective, including NoSQL and cloud storage services. Advanced topics include persistent, redundant, cloud-attached and cloud-remote storage, along with gateways, brokers, DAS, NAS, SAN, design patterns and information lifecycle management for cloud-hosted data.
Complete the Cloud Storage course and, optionally, get accredited as a Certified Cloud Storage Specialist by passing the certification exam. You can purchase the course now and get the exam later, or you can get them together at a discount as part of the Certification Bundle.
Upon completing the course you will receive a digital certificate of completion, as well as a digital training badge from Acclaim/Credly. Because this course encompasses both the Cloud Professional and Cloud Storage Specialist certifications, upon passing the exam you will also receive official Cloud Professional and Cloud Storage Specialist digital accreditation certificates and certification badges from Acclaim/Credly, along with an account that can be used to verify your certification status.
If you already completed the Cloud Professional course modules, you can purchase a partial course (or a partial bundle) with only the modules specific to the Cloud Storage Specialist track here.
Choose the Certification Bundle to receive the entire course together with the online-proctored certification exam and a set of practice exam questions, all at a bundle discount.
