Description
This powerful 5-day class is an intense introduction to virtualization using VMwares vSphere 5.0 including VMware ESX 5.0 and vCenter. Assuming no prior virtualization experience, this class starts with the basics and rapidly progresses to more advanced topics. More than 40% of class time is devoted to labs so concepts, skills and best practices are developed and reinforced. Initial labs focus on installation and configuration of stand-alone ESXi servers. As the class progresses, shared storage, networking and centralized management are introduced. The class continues on to more advanced topics including resource balancing, high availability, back up and recovery, troubleshooting and more. Disaster recovery, rapid deployment, hot migration and workload consolidation are also covered. This class is unique in its approach; which is to identify common IT pain points and then clearly explain and demonstrate how virtualization delivers clear, tangible benefits (e.g.: reduced costs, greater consistency, responsiveness, reduced administration, server consolidation, etc.). Each topic is presented from the perspective of delivering key business value; not just the technical or mechanical aspects of the software. By the end of the class, attendees will have learned the benefits, skills, and best practices of virtualization. Attendees will be able to design, implement, deploy, configure, monitor, manage and troubleshoot VMware vSphere 5.0. Note: This training is not certified
Prérequis
Attendees should have user, operator or administrator experience on common operating systems such as Microsoft Windows®, Linux, UNIX, etc. Experience installing, configuring and managing operating systems, storage systems and or networks is useful but not required. We assume that all attendees have a basic familiarity with PC server hardware, disk partitioning, IP addressing, O/S installation, networking, etc. Who Should Attend? This class is suitable for anyone who want to learn how to extract the maximum benefit from their investment in Virtual Infrastructure, including: -System architects or others who need to design virtual infrastructure -Security specialists responsible for monitor, managing, securing and administering Virtual Infrastructure -Operators responsible for day-to-day operation of Virtual Infrastructure -Performance and capacity analysts who need to understand, provision, monitor and performance tune Virtual Infrastructure -Backup Administrators who need to understand the impact of existing and new back up strategies in a virtual environment -Business Continuity specialists responsible for disaster recovery and high availability -Storage administrators who need to understand how VMware ESX uses Fibre SAN and iSCSI SAN volumes and NAS datastores -Managers who need an unbiased understanding of virtualization before committing their organization to a virtual infrastructure deployment.
