Deze vijfdaagse training biedt intensieve hands-on ervaring met het installeren, configureren en beheren van VMware vSphere®. Je werkt met VMware ESXi™  en VMware vCenter Server®  en leert hoe je een vSphere-infrastructuur beheert voor organisaties van elke omvang.

De training vormt de basis voor veel andere VMware-technologieën binnen het softwaregedefinieerde datacenter.

  • Je installeert en configureert VMware ESXi en vCenter Server.
  • Je beheert virtuele machines en hun resources binnen vSphere.
  • Je richt netwerken en opslaginfrastructuur in binnen een vSphere-omgeving.
  • Je implementeert en beheert gebruikersrechten en toegangscontrole.
  • Je voert monitoring en troubleshooting uit op de vSphere-infrastructuur.
  • Je begrijpt hoe vSphere als fundament dient voor andere VMware-oplossingen.

 

Voor system administrators en systems engineers die verantwoordelijk zijn voor het beheren van een vSphere-omgeving.

Ervaring met systeembeheer op Microsoft Windows of Linux is vereist.
