Description:

VMware vSphere is the world’s leading server virtualisation platform.  VMware’s cloud computing virtualisation platform ensures better insights, improving performance and availability. The VMware vSphere Complete Video Training course provides ample information about different versions of VMware vSphere and helps you to use your cloud environment efficiently

The course is divided into several sections focusing on the different upgrades of vSphere and the virtual security system. At first, you will be familiarised with the advanced virtualisation concepts and the VMware vSphere 4.0 product suite. You will know the system of planning and installing ESX and how to use different tools for operating or administrating ESX. Then, you will be introduced to the upgraded VMware Bootcamp vSphere 4.1 where you will learn how to plan and install ESXi and the configuring network system. Similarly, the rest of the parts of the course deal with the various upgrades of vSphere, including vSphere 5, vSphere 5.5, vSphere 4.x/5.x to 5.5, and vSphere 6.0. Finally, the last section, Advanced VMware Security, shows you how to secure your data in the cloud environment.

To sum up, the VMware vSphere Complete Video Training prepares you to be a certified professional virtualisation expert.

Certification

Once you finish the course, you can get a certificate to show your success. The PDF version costs just £3.99, while a printed one is £7.99. If you’d like both, it’s £10. For students outside the UK, there’s an extra £10 for delivery.
