VMware vSphere: Design [V7] Course Overview
Enroll for 3-day VMware vSphere: Design [V7] training course from this course Solutions accredited by VMware. This course is designed to learn how to design a VMware vSphere® 7 virtual infrastructure. You follow a proven approach to design a virtualization solution that ensures availability, manageability, performance, recoverability, and security, and also includes VMware best practices.
Through a blend of hands-on labs and interactive lectures, you may further discusses the benefits and risks of available design alternatives and provides information to support making sound design decisions.
Target Audience:
This training course is recommended for experienced system integrators and consultants responsible for designing and deploying vSphere environments
