Firefly Rolls Out Cisco WAFS Training
|
Firefly Communications today became one of the first training providers
to offer Cisco Wide Area File Services (WAFS) public classes in
the United States. This 3-day instructor-led training provides
foundational technical knowledge of WAFS for pre- and post- sales
engineers, partner consultants, as well as server, storage, and
network engineers.
As the premier provider of Cisco storage networking and advanced
datacenter technology training, Firefly Communications is uniquely
positioned not only to help customers, systems engineers, and
network engineers design, implement, and support solutions using
WAFS, but also to help them understand the value of the WAFS
technology and how WAFS fits into the datacenter.
Cisco WAFS and the Cisco File Engine hardware is a plug-and-play
file caching that significantly improves how a company stores,
protects, and manages the data accessed at the corporate network
edge. Cisco WAFS combines the benefits of centralized storage and
storage management with the performance of local file storage
infrastructure in the remote office. Cisco WAFS enables
distributed enterprises to consolidate not only server and
storage solution footprint, but also centralize data protection
policies and control storage growth from within the data center.
Through a series of intelligent optimizations including file
caching, compression, and latency reduction, Cisco WAFS enables
such consolidation while providing remote users with the
performance they’ve come to expect from a local file server.
The Cisco WAFS product family is synergistic with Cisco's SAN
technology, extending storage consolidation from the data center
to the corporate edge.
