Opis: This five-day course provides hands-on training to equip students with a range of skills, from performing routine VMware vSphere 8 administrative tasks to complex vSphere operations and configurations. Through lab-based activities, students are immersed in real-life situations faced by VMBeans, a fictitious company. These situations expose students to real-life scenarios faced by companies that are building and scaling their virtual infrastructure.

This course uses scenario-based lab exercises and does not provide guided step-by-step instructions. To complete the scenario-based lab exercises, you are required to analyze the task, research, and deduce the required solution. References and suggested documentation are provided. This course utilizes labs to teach students how to effectively navigate and manage vSphere. The course aligns fully with the VMware Certified Advanced Professional – Data Center Virtualization Deploy exam objectives.

Cel: By the end of the course, you should be able to meet the following objectives:

• Configure VMware vCenter® and VMware ESXi™
• Configure and manage a vSphere cluster solution for vSphere HA, vSphere DRS, and vSAN
• Configure vSphere storage and networking
• Perform lifecycle operations on vSphere components
• Troubleshoot vSphere infrastructure and connectivity issues
• Back up vCenter configurations
• Implement solutions for securing the vSphere infrastructure

Grupa docelowa:

• System administrators
• System engineers
