This five-day VMware training is an intensive introduction to VMware vSphere 8.0, including VMware ESXi 8.0 and vCenter 8.0. This course has been fully updated to reflect the latest changes introduced in vSphere 8.0.
Assuming no prior experience with virtualization, the course starts with the basics and quickly progresses to advanced topics. More than 45% of the class time is dedicated to labs, allowing students to gain the skills needed to become effective vSphere administrators. Students use dedicated labs that begin with the installation and configuration of standalone ESXi hosts and progress to shared storage, networking, virtual machine creation, and centralized management. The course continues with rapid virtual machine deployment, hot-pluggable virtual hardware, permissions, alarm resource management, high-availability virtual machine clusters, load-balanced virtual machine clusters, cold, hot, and storage migration of virtual machines, ESXi host update/upgrade, and performance tuning. This course is unique in that by the end of the course, students will have created a complete vSphere 8.0 environment from scratch, including the installation and configuration of ESXi 8.0 hosts and the installation and configuration of vCenter Server Appliance 8.0. We are the only major vSphere training provider where each student must install ESXi and vCenter to succeed.
By the end of the course, participants will have acquired the knowledge, skills, and best practices necessary to deploy, configure, and administer VMware vSphere 8.0.
This powerful five-day VMware course provides an in-depth overview of vSphere 6.7. In this course, you will learn how to deploy vSphere 6.7, how to optimize it—including virtual machines, ESXi hosts, vCenter Server Appliance, networking, and shared SAN storage—with the goal of delivering both scalability and performance.
We will guide you step by step on how to upgrade or migrate to vCenter Server Appliance 6.7, how to use VMware Update Manager to upgrade ESXi hosts, and how to use VUM to upgrade VM virtual hardware.
Additionally, we will show you how to diagnose, isolate, and resolve common issues. All tools, including vSphere Client, Host Client, Web Client, and command-line tools, are used to explore, configure, update, investigate, and focus on performance bottlenecks and problem areas. Up to 45% of the class time is dedicated to labs, ensuring that concepts, skills, and best practices are developed and reinforced.
By the end of the course, participants will have gained practical, actionable skills in designing, implementing, upgrading, sizing, scaling, performance optimization, and troubleshooting vSphere.
