Overview

“Oracle ASM Administration” is designed for roles such as Database administrators (DBAs) and Application and database developers. In 6 hours you work your way through ASM instance and disk groups, Redundancy: normal, high, external and Rebalancing in a structured way – with plenty of practice and time for your questions.

Oracle databases and the surrounding middleware carry business-critical applications in many organizations, from ERP to specialist software. That calls for solid knowledge of operations, performance, security and development, and increasingly of cloud topics and migration. Our Oracle ASM Administration courses are aimed at DBAs, developers and architects who want to run their environment reliably, remove bottlenecks precisely and make changes safely. You work in a provided lab environment on realistic tasks and take proven approaches back to your team. The course runs online or on site, lasts one day and is offered at a fixed price per participant.

The course is delivered live – either online in a virtual classroom or on-site in our training rooms in Munich, Salzburg, Berlin, Augsburg, Hanover, Bremen, Stuttgart and Kaiserslautern. We can also run it exclusively for your team.
