RH401 Red Hat Enterprise Deployment and Systems Management Description

Goal:

RH401 is designed to train people with RHCE level competency on skills required to deploy and manage Red Hat systems to enterprise standards of reliability, availability, scalability and manageability (RASM). Central to the course is hands-on training in the high availability and load-balancing capabilities of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Persons taking RH401 will learn how to implement and manage Red Hat Enterprise Linux deployments efficiently and effectively in ways that make the entire enterprise deployment manageable by a team.

Red Hat's RHCE training and certification progran provides fundamental skills and knowledge required by IT professionals who are deploying Red Hat Enterprise Linux in enterprise environments. RH401 goes further in that it trains senior system administrators to manage large numbers of Red Hat servers in a variety of roles, and/or manage Red Hat Enterprise Linux servers for mission-critical applications that require failover and load-balancing.

RH401 is benchmarked on expert level competencies in managing operating systems for enterprise roles.

Audience:
