4 Day Course
SAS Plus Updated to SAS-2.1:
Our existing course, which has been praised by industry experts for its content and delivery, has been updated to include the latest of SAS-2.1.0. New subjects are Zoning, Multiplexing, 6 Gbps, Training, New Counters and SMP and STP Time Limits. Existing sections of the course have also been upgraded to the new standard.
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS 2.1) is the logical evolution of SCSI. SAS addresses enterprise storage requirements for larger capacity, higher density, enhanced security, more scalability and easier accessibility, while offering the compatibility, reliability, performance and manageability of Parallel SCSI. Serial ATA (SATA) has become the dominate disk drive interface on the desktop and for new applications like “near line” storage. This 4-day seminar provides students with the most current SAS 2.1 and SATA 3.0 industry developments, directions and data necessary to be fully informed and abreast of the latest advances in these exciting technologies. Class participants will examine the development of SAS 2.1 and SATA 3.0 in storage solutions. Students will investigate the ability of these technologies to offer increased customer choice by allowing a single infrastructure to support both enterprise class SAS 2.1 drives and higher capacity SATA 3.0 drives for cost-sensitive applications. Students will examine both of these interfaces in detail at all architecture levels. This course is ideal for those seeking a detailed understanding of these new technologies, their workings, and the impact they will have within the industry.
Our demonstrations use an analyzer, host bus adapter, expanders, SATA and SAS disk drives to fully explore the SATA and SAS transports and how they relate to the SCSI and ATA command sets. An emphasis will be placed on the initialization steps of Open Identify, Discovery, Expander Operations and on the operational steps of Open Address, Information Transfer and Closing. SAS Protocols demonstrated are SSP, SMP and STP. This demonstration class uses real equipment to ensure real learning.
