You can also have folks load the simulator. Haven’t used it in years as we have lots of labs internally

Awesome list, Jason! I will just add that I think Insight 2020 is still free to register and access the content. You may be able to absorb additional information there as well. But I do not know how long it will remain up. 

 

Thank you,
Richard Paddock

    Hello All,

    We're about to receive a new AFF-220 to replace our aged FAS and it
    occurs to me that my team could use an update in our general NetApp
    knowledge. But we have zero dollars available for training.

    Are there any free online training resources? Barring that, any good
    dirt-cheap ones?

    Thanks in advance,

    Randy (he/him) in Seattle
