About Storage Networks, Data Centers and Cloud

GoConqr Original

What this unit covers

The page brings together storage, data centre and cloud networking material. The storage side includes the Storage Technologies mind map, which starts with Direct Attached Storage and runs through IDE, SATA, SCSI and SAS. The notes on Storage spaces explain virtual disks built from free space in a storage pool, with resiliency levels and storage tiers.

Many mind maps compare SAN and NAS, so you can see the same contrast explained in several different ways. Others look at storage virtualisation, the Network File System and network-based storage solutions.

Data centres and cloud

Beyond storage, the page lists maps on Design DC Unified fabric and Data Center Standards. On the cloud side there are maps on Azure VPN gateways, ExpressRoute overview and Connectivity to AWS. Quizzes such as AZ-700 - 1 and Cloud Connectivity Certification Test suit those who want exam-style questions.

Where to start

Open the SAN vs NAS mind maps and read two or three to find the main differences.
Move to the Storage Technologies map for the building blocks.
Try the quiz Practice Test 2, which asks about IP SAN protocols and iSCSI.
Use the flashcards SERVER FINAL JEOPARDY to check your iSCSI terms.

Certification practice

The listed resources mention CCNA, CCNP, AWS, AZ-700, BCFA and EMCISA. The BCFA flashcards cover Fibre Channel services such as the Name Server and Fabric Login Server, plus the FC-0 and FC-1 layers. The Cisco UCS deck tests ideas around end-to-end virtualisation. The VCP quizzes ask about vCenter and ESXi hosts.

Using quizzes and maps together

Read a map first to get the overall picture. Then take a quiz on the same topic and note which questions you missed. Go back to the map for those branches, then try the flashcards to fix the terms in memory. Teachers can pick a map or quiz to set as a ready-made starting point for a class.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with a SAN vs NAS mind map if you want the big picture, or the Storage Technologies map if you want the basics from Direct Attached Storage upwards. Once you have read one, try the quiz Practice Test 2 to check what stayed with you.

Which exams do the resources mention?

The listed resources mention CCNA, CCNP, AWS, AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner, AZ-700, BCFA and EMCISA. They suit university students and professional candidates. Check each resource's content against your own course or exam guide, since the community made them rather than an exam body.

What do the mind maps cover?

There are over 40 mind maps. Many compare SAN and NAS, while others cover storage virtualisation, the Network File System, data centre design and standards, Azure VPN gateways, ExpressRoute and connectivity to AWS. They work well as a quick read before you take a quiz.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, maps, flashcards and notes.

Can teachers use this page?

Yes. Teachers can use the quizzes, mind maps and flashcard decks as ready-made material, for example a SAN vs NAS map to open a lesson or a quiz such as Data Center Assessment as a check. Look through the content first to confirm it fits your course.

What if I cannot find a topic I need?

Browse the other formats on the page, as a topic may appear as a map rather than a quiz, or as flashcards. If it is still missing, you can build your own quiz, mind map or flashcards with a free account and keep them for revision.
