VMware vSphere: Optimize and Scale [V6.5]
This five-day course will teach you advanced skills for configuring and maintaining a highly available and scalable virtual infrastructure. Through a mix of lecture and hands-on labs, you will configure and optimize the vSphere features that build a foundation for a truly scalable infrastructure, and you will discuss when and where these features have the greatest effect. Anyone who is ready to take their understanding of vSphere to a deeper level and learn how to use advanced features and controls will greatly benefit from this course.
Delegates will learn how to
· Configure and manage ESXi networking and storage for a large and sophisticated enterprise
· Manage changes to the vSphere environment
· Optimize the performance of all vSphere components
· Harden the vSphere environment against security threats
· Use VMware vSphere® Client™, VMware vSphere® Web Client, and VMware vSphere® ESXi™ Shell to manage vSphere
· Use VMware vSphere® Auto Deploy™ to provision ESXi hosts
· Use VMware vRealize® Log Insight™ to monitor system logs
· Deploy VMware vCenter® Server Appliance™ to be highly available and optimized for performance
