CLYSO CES Technical Training

Train with the engineers behind CES. Operate with confidence.

CLYSO CES Technical Training

Learn to design, operate, and maintain CES (CLYSO Enterprise Storage) in real production environments — beyond installation and documentation.

This training is designed and delivered by the engineers who build, operate, and support CES every day.

How Training Fits into the CES Ecosystem

CLYSO supports your CES journey at different stages — from assistance to full operational independence. CES Training is the enablement layer. It bringing real operational knowledge from CES engineers directly into your team.

3. Training

We enable your team to operate CES independently and confidently.

Why CES Training at CLYSO?

From Theory to Production

Go beyond standard documentation. Understand the architecture and sizing principles we apply when designing and operating CES environments for our Managed Service clients.

AI-Assisted Operations

Learn to operate the CLYSO Copilot, using intelligent recommendations and multi-cluster visibility to identify issues early and move from reactive troubleshooting to proactive operations.

Upstream Expertise with Enterprise Stability

Gain deep knowledge of core upstream technologies while learning how CES stabilizes and operationalizes them for enterprise environments.

Enterprise Enhancements & Operational Advantage

Understand CES-specific extensions, optimized defaults, and operational safeguards — and learn how to use them to operate storage environments more efficiently and reliably.

  • Frequently Asked Questions

    These are the questions we hear most often about CES Trainings.

    Is the training focused on real CES operations?

    Yes. The training is built around real production scenarios and covers the architecture, operational workflows, and maintenance practices used in daily CES environments.

    Will our team be able to operate CES independently after the training?

    The goal of the training is to enable your team to confidently operate CES in production and handle typical operational tasks independently.

    Who delivers the CES training?

    The training is designed and delivered by engineers who build, operate, and support CES in real-world environments.

    Which operational topics are covered?

    The focus is on architecture decisions, daily operations, monitoring, troubleshooting, upgrades, and lifecycle management.

    Do we need prior Ceph experience?

    No. Solid Linux and basic networking knowledge are sufficient to follow the training.

    How is the training structured?

    Virtual instructor-led sessions with interactive labs, spread across flexible scheduling options.
