Course Description

MindShare’s SAS Architecture course provides a comprehensive understanding of the Serial Attached SCSI interface. The course covers all aspects of the standard, primarily from a hardware perspective, and compares the usage model of SAS with other enterprise interface designs. Practical examples of the discovery process, transactions on the link, and error conditions help provide a great introduction for those new to this material. MindShare’s established background in legacy platform design, coupled with a comprehensive understanding of the latest bus technologies, provides rich insight into the SAS design and results in a superior training experience. This course will provide the kind of in-depth information, example implementations, and practical guidance that will give your team a running start on working with SAS.
