Deploying VMware® vSphere: Hands-On LT0171E

Zielgruppe
- System administrators, datacentre infrastructure architects, systems engineers and operators as well as those interested in implementing ESXi 4.0 and/or vCentre Server 4.0.
Kursziel
- Virtualising the infrastructure offers tremendous opportunity to reduce total cost of ownership and improve
- disaster recovery. However, implementing an optimal configuration requires a thorough knowledge of the
- technology along with practical experience. This course prepares you to manage a vSphere-based enterprise
- environment using the vCentre Server 4.0 and ESXi 4.0 Server.
- You Will Learn How To
- Deploy and configure a highly available virtual infrastructure with VMware vSphere
- Allocate networking and storage resources
- Create VMware Virtual Machine File System (VMFS) and Network File System (NFS) datastores
- Install and configure vCentre Server 4.0 for a secure and efficient virtualised IT environment
- Secure the infrastructure to prevent unauthorised access
- Pool resources for virtual machines with VMotion and VMware Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS)
Voraussetzungen
- Experience with system administration of Windows or Linux and networking knowledge is assumed. A basic familiarity with SAN storage is helpful.
