VMware vSphere

Practical Implementation in Real Data Center Environment

With the evolution of VMware Virtualization Technology and its implementation in Data
Centers, the approach to manage IT infrastructure is not the same as it used to be in
physical environments. This course will cover all the aspects required to design, configure
and manage a Virtual Data Center environment using VMware vSphere Virtualization
Technology. The course will provide hands-on experience on Virtual Data Center
Infrastructure Administration. No Data Center/Cloud is complete without virtualization
today. The training will be given by Senior System/Network Engineers with several years
of field experience in Virtualization.

Course Outline
) Components of Virtual Data Center Infrastructure
) Install, Configure and Manage vSphere
) vCenter Server, vSphere Client, Web Client
) Configure and Manage Virtual Networking
) Configure and Manage Storage
) Create and Manage Virtual Machines
) Configure and Manage VMware Clusters
) Install, Configure and Manage Update Manager
) Backup of VMs using VDP
) Troubleshooting vSphere using CLI
