Catalogic DPX Training

Build in-house expertise with instructor-led Catalogic DPX System Administration training. From simplifying backup and recovery to protecting your application environments, our courses teach your team how to administer and manage DPX more efficiently — with hands-on labs and formats to fit how you work: on-site, remotely, or in the classroom.

Train your team to run DPX with confidence

The DPX System Administration course gives backup administrators the practical skills to deploy, operate, and troubleshoot Catalogic DPX day to day. Led by a Catalogic product expert, it moves quickly from core concepts to guided, hands-on practice so your team leaves ready to protect production workloads on their own.

Whether you are onboarding new staff to an existing deployment or standing up DPX for the first time, training shortens the ramp-up and helps you get more value from your investment sooner.

Flexible training formats

Choose the delivery format that fits your team's schedule and location.

Classroom

Instructor-led sessions delivered at a Catalogic training facility, ideal for teams that want focused time away from day-to-day operations.

Remote / Virtual

Live, instructor-led online sessions your team joins from anywhere — the same curriculum and hands-on labs, without the travel.

On-Site

A Catalogic instructor delivers the course at your premises, so training can reflect your own environment and involve your wider team.

Hands-on labs, not just slides

Training is built around guided, hands-on labs. Rather than watching demos, attendees work through real DPX tasks — configuring backup jobs, building schedules, and running restores — in a lab environment. Practicing each workflow first-hand is what turns concepts into operational confidence back in production.

Backup and storage administrators
IT operations staff who run and monitor DPX
New team members onboarding to an existing DPX deployment

What to expect

Every session is led by a Catalogic product expert and centered on practical outcomes:

Instructor-led delivery with guided hands-on labs
Practical scenarios drawn from real-world deployments
Time for your team's environment-specific questions
A clear path to operating DPX independently afterward
