Duration: 3 Days
In this course, you will learn to operate and manage the new HP Integrity NonStop BladeSystem. Through a combination of lecture and live demonstrations using HP NB-series servers, you will be introduced to the new NonStop Multi-Core Architecture (NSMA). You will compare and contrast S-series and NB-series server configuration, operation, and networking.
