HPE NonStop system
  • Overview

    Learn the basics of installing, configuring, and securing HPE iTP WebServer solutions along with the management procedures needed to support the operation of the iTP WebServer. Hands-on lab exercises give you programming experience in the iTP WebServer environment. This four day course is 60% lecture and 40% hands-on labs using HPE NonStop servers.
  • Audience

    This course is ideal for personnel involved with installation, management, programming, and support of the iTP WebServer and applications developed in the iTP WebServer environment.
  • Prerequisites

    Before attending this course, you should have a working knowledge of C or C++ and Java programming languages.
