Experienced system administrators, system engineers, and system integrators

Overview

By the end of the course, you should be able to meet the following objectives:
Configure and manage vSphere networking and storage for a large and sophisticated enterprise
Use VMware vSphere Client™ to manage certificates
Use Identity Federation to configure VMware vCenter Server to use external identity sources
Use VMware vSphere Trust Authority™ to secure the infrastructure for encrypted VMs
Use host profiles to manage VMware ESXi™ host compliance
Create and manage a content library for deploying virtual machines
Manage VM resource usage with resource pools
Monitor and analyze key performance indicators for compute, storage, and networking resources for ESXi hosts
Optimize the performance in the vSphere environment, including vCenter Server

This five-day course teaches you advanced skills for configuring and maintaining a highly available and scalable virtual infrastructure. Through a mix of lecture and hands-on labs, you configure and optimize the VMware vSphere© 7 features that build a foundation for a truly scalable infrastructure, and you discuss when and where these features have the greatest effect.
Attend this course to deepen your understanding of vSphere and learn how its advanced features and controls can benefit your organization. As an exclusive benefit, those who participate in this course will receive additional premium recorded lecture material on vSphere security.
