Multi-Day Webinars and Classes
Multi-day webinars or onsite classes from Verity Systems provide a 'deep dive' into mainframe storage and operating system topics. Each course includes a mix of presentation, demonstrations, and lecture in morning and afternoon sessions. Students attending the course gain a detailed, expert-level understanding of the subject matter and are ready to put their new skills to immediate use. Courses can be customized to fit your particular installation's needs, and can be provided as a webinar (shown below), or as an even-more detailed-onsite course.

Using FDRABR Effectively
Duration: 18 hours over 3 days (3-hour morning and evening sessions daily)
Cost: $3950USD
FDRABR is one of the most powerful and widely-used storage management systems available in large modern data centers. With its extensive set of facilities for backup, restore, archiving, automatic recall, and reporting, FDRABR provides all of the functions required to effectively manage storage in the complex environment of modern business data processing. Using FDRABR Effectively is designed to teach storage administrators, system programmers, operations staff, and others who are responsible for storage management everything they need to know to install, use, and administer the FDRABR system and get the most out of their storage, and their investment in FDRABR.

Understanding and Managing DFSMS
Duration: 18 hours over 3 days (3-hour morning and evening sessions daily)
Cost: $3950USD
The storage management subsystem - DFSMS - is a critical part of the modern data center. In order to efficiently manage the massive amounts of disk and tape storage present in large z/OS environments, an understanding of DFSMS is an absolute necessity. This course is an intensive overview of the role of DASD and tape management in z/OS, along with practical tips on how to set up and manage a DFSMS environment. Beginning with the history of attempts to manage DASD storage, this course explains the concepts behind System Managed Storage as well as the details of DFSMS implementation and use. The unique disk storage architecture used by z/OS systems, from the VTOC and VVDS to the ACS routines and data class, storage class, management class, and storage group are clearly explained. The role of the DASD management system, whether IBM's DFSMShsm or Innovation Data Processing's FDRABR, and its interaction with DFSMS, are examined. Topics include:

Introduction to z/OS for New Users
Duration: 18 hours over 3 days (3-hour morning and evening sessions daily)
Cost: $3950USD
The mainframe environment is fundamentally different from the Linux platforms with which most new programmers are familiar. z/OS systems are often larger and more complex than other systems, and an understanding of z/OS is vital to the IT mission of most large companies. This webinar provides a thorough grounding in the more than 50-year history of mainframes, including the most critical aspects of z/OS architecture and subsystems.
