VMware vSphere: Optimize & Scale V6.7

Duration: 5 Days Course Code: VSOS Version: 5.5

Overview:

This training course, for experienced VMware vSphere® personnel, teaches advanced skills for configuring and maintaining a highly availableand scalable virtual infrastructure. The course is based on VMware ESXi™ 5.5 and VMware® vCenter Server™ 5.5.This course prepares thestudent for the VMware Certified Advanced Professional – Datacenter Administration [V5] certification (VCAP5-DCA). Completion of this coursealso satisfies the prerequisite for taking the VMware® Certified Professional 5 exam.

Target Audience:

Experienced system administrators, Systems engineers and System integrators

Objectives:

Configure and manage ESXi networking and storage for a large Troubleshoot operational faults and identify their root causes.and sophisticated enterprise.

Use VMware vSphere® ESXi™ Shell and VMware vSphere®Manage changes to the vSphere environment. Management Assistant to manage vSphere.

Optimize the performance of all vSphere components. Use VMware vSphere® Auto Deploy™ to provision ESXi hosts.

Prerequisites: Testing and Certification
