Learn
Build a precise mental model with plain-language explanations and a glossary.
StorageCraft
Learn the data path beneath modern infrastructure—from storage fundamentals to Fibre Channel, iSCSI, failure recovery, and AI systems—through guided, testable practice.
One learning system, four ways to build skill
Section titled “One learning system, four ways to build skill”Practice
Operate visible state in calculators, failure labs, and vendor-style terminals.
Challenge
Diagnose incidents and make safe changes without step-by-step prompts.
Assess
Prove command selection, troubleshooting, rollback, and communication.
Start at your level
Section titled “Start at your level”Beginner · Zero-to-SAN EngineerNine ordered modules: storage, performance, protection, SAN, FC, zoning, iSCSI, operations, and assessment.
Operator · RunbooksUse repeatable procedures for daily checks, provisioning, incident triage, and safe rollback.
Practitioner · Storage Network AcademyOperate Brocade-style FC, Cisco MDS-style FC, iSCSI, dual fabrics, incidents, and certification scenarios.
Architect · Storage × AI LabsModel GPU memory, KV cache, RAG footprints, NVMe queues, and end-to-end AI bottlenecks.
Developer · Python and CLIReuse transparent models from Python, automation, notebooks, or the colored JavaScript CLI.
Track progress · Evidence and milestonesRecord completed modules locally, earn learning milestones, and export portable JSON evidence.
Your first 30 minutes
Section titled “Your first 30 minutes”- Learn how block, file, object, LUN, and filesystem differ in Storage foundations.
- Compare capacity and failure tolerance in the Universal RAID Planner.
- Trace host → fabric → target → LUN in SAN fundamentals.
- Inspect a simulated fabric in Learn mode using the Storage Network Academy.
Find the right tool
Section titled “Find the right tool”| Goal | Start here | Finish with |
|---|---|---|
| Understand a term | Storage and SAN glossary | Explain it in your own data path |
| Prepare for shift work | Daily health check | A time-stamped evidence record |
| Provision a host | Zoning module | Host provisioning runbook |
| Diagnose path loss | SAN Failure-Domain Lab | Incident triage runbook |
| Teach a cohort | Instructor kit | Practical assessment evidence |
| Use AI tools better | Manmeet AI Command Center | A reusable, verified workflow |
| Build with Python | Python toolkit | Tested library or JSON CLI output |
StorageCraft is educational engineering software. Simulators intentionally model selected behavior. Validate identities, commands, workload assumptions, platform releases, and recovery procedures before production use.
