This course is for group and product level
managers who need to learn something about
the Tandem platform. This is a 1-day, no-lab
overview of Tandem fundamentals, and the
effect this architecture has on their development
and management methodologies. They will
learn about fault tolerance, parallelism,
scalable systems.
Course Duration: 1 day (on-site)
Those who will manage people who
will design and develop applications,
manage operations, or control
databases on the Tandem system(s),
but who won't necessarily have
hands-on exposure.
