Storage Scale: Remote Data Access and Multi-Cluster Administration

Managing data across separate clusters and remote locations is a critical requirement for modern enterprise storage administrators. This text-based course helps you bridge the gap between local storage performance and global data accessibility. You will master the core features of Storage Scale that enable secure, high-performance remote data access across multi-cluster Linux environments. By learning how to configure protocol services and disaster recovery tools, you will be able to design resilient storage architectures that keep data accessible wherever it is needed. What you'll learn: Understand the foundational architecture of Storage Scale multi-cluster relationships and remote mounts; Configure Cluster Export Services (CES) to support NFS, SMB, and Object protocols; Implement Active File Management (AFM) to automate data caching and sharing across geographically dispersed sites; Set up AFM-based Asynchronous Disaster Recovery (AFM DR) to protect critical enterprise data; Integrate modern hybrid cloud storage patterns and container-native storage interfaces for scalable architectures. The course begins with essential storage terminology and the fundamentals of multi-cluster connectivity. From there, you will progress through written explanations and conceptual walkthroughs detailing protocol exports, caching strategies, and disaster recovery configurations. This course is designed for systems administrators, storage engineers, and IT professionals who are new to remote data access in Storage Scale, starting with the basics with no complex prerequisites.
