Course 70103: Planning Network Access and Data Storage

Introduction This course explains how to implement remote access technologies while maintaining your network's security. Features such as virtual private networks, Network Access Protection, and DirectAccess are important for improving your network's security for remote access. An understanding of planning and implementing network access is important for preventing potential security risks when users in your enterprise attempt remote access to applications and resources on your networked servers. The course also describes how to provision data and storage, which is critical for ensuring users dispersed across various locations are able to locate the most recent files as quickly as possible. You learn how to manage multiple data sites, using the Distributed File System and BranchCache features to overcome remote office storage management challenges such as limiting network traffic over slow WAN connections, ensuring the availability of files during WAN or server failures, and backing up file servers that are located at smaller branch offices. Objectives At the end of the course, students will be able to:

• In this course, you will plan and implement network access for the users in your enterprise. In addition, you will provision data and storage.
